Plastic has become an important aspect of life. It is used widely for packaging and domestic purposes. India produces about 5.6 million tonnes of plastic waste every year. The major concern is disposing of this waste safely. Recycling helps, but long-term solutions are needed to reduce plastic waste effectively.
Managing plastic waste is crucial because it harms the environment severely. To address this issue, the government introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Under this system, manufacturers and exporters must take responsibility for the plastic waste generated from their packaging. They must ensure proper disposal after consumer use.
If your business deals with plastic products, you must follow EPR norms. These rules apply to all business sizes—Brand Owners, Producers, and Importers, including small businesses.
EPR makes manufacturers responsible for the environmental impact of their products even after they are discarded by consumers. The goal is to prevent plastic waste from entering oceans, rivers, and landfills.
The Plastic Waste Management Rules were updated in 2022. As per these rules:
After registration, PIBOs must ensure that certified Plastic Waste Processors dispose of their waste. They must collect certificates based on the waste processed to meet EPR targets. Failure to do so can result in penalties.
Since July 1, 2022, the following single-use plastic items are banned under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2021:

If your business deals with plastic packaging, EPR registration on the CPCB portal is mandatory. Producers, importers, brand owners, and plastic waste processors cannot operate without this compliance.
Presto Laboratories supports businesses through the entire EPR registration process. With proper registration and compliance, companies can manage plastic waste responsibly and contribute to a cleaner, sustainable India.
