EPR Authorization for E-Waste in India

Q: What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

EPR’s full form of e-waste is Extended Producer Responsibility. It's a policy where producers, importers, and brand owners are responsible for the environmental management of their products throughout their entire lifecycle, especially their collection, recycling, and safe disposal after use.

Q: Is EPR registration mandatory in India?

Yes, EPR authorization under E-Waste Management is mandatory for all Producers, Importers, Brand Owners, Manufacturers, Refurbishers, Dismantlers, and Recyclers of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) as per the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.

Q: What are the main laws governing e-waste in India?

The primary law governing e-waste in India is the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which superseded the 2016 rules.

Q: How do I apply for EPR registration?

You apply for EPR E-Waste registration online through the CPCB's dedicated EPR E-Waste Portal. The process involves creating an account, filling out Form-1, uploading documents, and paying fees.

Q: How much is the government fee for EPR registration?

The government fee for Producers varies based on their annual e-waste recycling target. For Recyclers, Refurbishers, and Manufacturers, the fees range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 50,000 for new registration. An annual maintenance charge of Rs. 5,000 also applies to all registered stakeholders.

Q: How long does it take to get the EPR certificate?

The CPCB aims to issue the EPR Authorization certificate within 120 days of receiving a complete application. If there are queries, you have 25 days to respond.

Q: How long is the EPR authorization valid for?

EPR Authorization for e-waste is typically valid for 5 years. You must apply for renewal before it expires.

Q: What are the recycling targets for producers?

The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, specify annual recycling targets for producers based on the quantity of EEE they put into the market. These targets are progressive and increase year-on-year. For example, specific percentages of the EEE placed on the market over previous years must be collected and recycled.

Q: What is RoHS, and do I need to comply with it?

RoHS stands for "Restriction of Hazardous Substances." It's a directive that restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in EEE. Yes, as a Producer, Importer, or Manufacturer in India, you are required to ensure your products comply with RoHS provisions and submit a self-declaration of compliance as part of your EPR Authorization application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is e-waste, and why is it harmful?

−

E-waste is discarded electrical or electronic equipment. It's harmful because it contains toxic substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can leach into the environment, contaminating soil and water and posing severe health risks.
