Hazardous and recyclable wastes, such as used batteries , waste oil , and discarded electronics , are harmful to the environment and human life and health. For this reason, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulation has been introduced by the Government of India, which includes the responsibility of producers, importers, or brand owners to collect, recycle, or dispose of their products once they become waste.

EPR Registration in India for Battery Waste, Waste Tyres, and Used Oil

 There are stringent regulations imposed upon organizations today concerning the effects of their activities on the environment. The Government of India introduces a number of those regulatory mechanisms: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in India is one of those that many consider of critical concern because it makes producers, importers, or brand owners responsible for the collection, recycling, and disposal of waste generated from their products. Different from others are Battery Waste, Waste Tyres, and Used Oil , which feature in the above listings of hazardous waste types that seriously harm the environment. All of these materials cause pollution, grazing land jams, and sources of water pollution and, more importantly, leave an ecological imbalance for a very long time if not well managed. The CPCB demands that any such entity dealing in these categories must have EPR Registration . 1. EPR for Battery Waste Increased application of batteries in different el...
