Product Details:

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers are given significant responsibility for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. For e-waste in India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) enforces EPR guidelines as part of the E-Waste Management Rules.

Key Aspects of EPR for E-Waste Under CPCB

1. E-Waste Management Rules, 2016:

   • These rules mandate that producers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are responsible for the collection and proper disposal of e-waste.
   • Producers must establish a system for the collection of e-waste from consumers and ensure its proper disposal.

2. Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs):

   • Producers can meet their EPR obligations individually or through PROs.
   • PROs are authorized to collect and manage e-waste on behalf of producers.

3. Targets for E-Waste Collection:

   • The rules specify annual e-waste collection targets based on the sales volume of EEE.
   • Targets are set to increase progressively, starting from 10% in the first two years and gradually increasing to 70% by the seventh year.

4. Authorization and Registration:

   • Producers, importers, and recyclers of EEE must register with the CPCB.
   • They must also obtain authorization under the E-Waste Management Rules.

5. EPR Plan Submission:

   • Producers need to submit an EPR Plan detailing their strategy for collecting and channelizing e-waste, including the involvement of PROs if applicable.

6. Collection Mechanism:

   • Producers must set up collection centers, take-back systems, or arrange for door-to-door collection.
   • They may also enter into agreements with local bodies for efficient collection of e-waste.

7. Awareness Programs:

   • Producers are required to conduct awareness programs to educate consumers about e-waste management.
   • Information on e-waste collection points should be provided to consumers.

8. Annual Returns:

   • Producers must submit annual returns to the CPCB detailing the quantity of e-waste collected, dismantled, and recycled.

9. Penalties for Non-Compliance:

   • The CPCB can impose fines and take other legal actions against producers who fail to comply with EPR requirements.
