Hazardous Waste & EPR Registration
Two separate sets of environmental obligations catch many manufacturers by surprise. Units that generate hazardous waste need an authorisation from the State Pollution Control Board. Producers, importers and brand owners who put plastic packaging, electronics or batteries on the market have Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets and must register on the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) portals.
Which obligation applies to you?
Hazardous waste authorisation
For units generating, storing or handling hazardous waste (for example, used oil, spent chemicals, ETP sludge). Obtained from UPPCB, usually alongside consent to operate, with annual returns and disposal through authorised facilities.
EPR: plastic packaging
For producers, importers and brand owners using plastic packaging, and for plastic waste processors. Registration and annual EPR targets are managed on the CPCB centralised EPR portal under the Plastic Waste Management Rules.
EPR: e-waste
For manufacturers, producers, refurbishers and recyclers of notified electrical and electronic equipment, under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.
EPR: batteries
For producers of batteries or of equipment containing batteries, and for battery recyclers, under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022.
What we handle
- Applicability review: whether you are a producer, importer, brand owner or only an end user under each set of rules.
- Registration on the relevant CPCB portal and UPPCB authorisation, with the documents and declarations required.
- EPR target computation, purchase of EPR certificates from registered processors where applicable, and annual or periodic returns.
- A compliance calendar so returns and renewals do not lapse, linked to your pollution consents.
Targets, categories and return dates under the EPR rules have been amended several times. We work from the current notification and the portal's own guidance; please do not rely on older summaries.
