  The consummation of electronic products and batteries is increasing rapidly at an exponential rate in the present sphere of rapidly changing technology. However, this growth has adversely affected the environment since the growth in the generation of e-waste and disposed batteries now poses a severe threat to ecological and human health. All these problems have forced the Indian Government to make EPR legally binding on all manufacturers, importers, and brand owners in the business of electrical/electronic products. EPR makes sure that the responsibility for a product lies with the manufacturer throughout its whole life cycle till the collection, recycling, and disposal at the end of its useful life. An EPR default will result in penalization, cancellation of licenses, and restraining of the companies. Therefore, EPR for Battery Waste , EPR for Electronic Products, and EPR for E-Waste are very much prominent among any kind of EPR for the company to run sustainably. Importan...

 With rising fuel costs, an increase in demand for eco-friendly mobility, and government incentives, the electric vehicle (EV) business in India is at its peak. However, with this boom comes the biggest dilemma: dealing with used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. For this purpose, the Government of India fortified its regulatory frameworks under the amendment to the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2025 , to introduce a strong EPR for Battery Waste system. The new provisions are set to change the compliance landscape for EV manufacturers and other associated players. What is EPR for Battery Waste? The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Battery Waste now specifies that all producers, importers, and brand owners are obliged to collect, recycle, and dispose of batteries after the end of their life. For the EV sector, this means manufacturers must track, collect, and recycle all lithium-ion batteries and any other batteries fitted into the vehicles they pr...

  E-waste and plastic now introduce EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) , where there is a major legally active enforcement measure in India bringing to account custodians, producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) for the environmental implications of their products being marketed. With the growing menace of electronic waste , plastic pollution , and hazardous substances, compliance with EPR has since been made mandatory by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and several other governing regulations. This article highlights the significance of EPR for Battery Waste , EPR for Electronic Products, EPR for E-Waste, and EPR Registration for Plastic , including compliance modalities and professional consultancy support in India. Importance of EPR in India Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) ensures that manufacturers and importers will not just be responsible for producing goods but for the environmentally sustainable management of end-of-consumer waste disposal ...
