Extended Producer Responsibility — Your Legal Obligation Under Indian Law

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a legal framework under India's E-Waste Management Rules, 2022 and Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 that requires manufacturers, importers, and bulk consumers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and batteries to take responsibility for the end-of-life disposal of their products.
In practice, this means: you must ensure a percentage of your products/batteries is collected and recycled through a CPCB-authorised recycler — and obtain an EPR certificate as proof. This certificate must be submitted as part of your annual EPR return filing with CPCB.

Epragathi Recycling is a CPCB-registered Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) — meaning we can legally issue EPR certificates that satisfy CPCB's annual filing requirements. One call. Full EPR compliance. Legal protection. No intermediaries.

Does Your Organisation Have an EPR Obligation?

If you manufacture, import, sell, or use electrical/electronic equipment or batteries in India at commercial scale — EPR likely applies to you. Here's a quick guide.

Manufacturers of EEE or Batteries

Any company that manufactures electrical or electronic equipment sold in India — including IT hardware, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, and batteries. CPCB assigns annual EPR targets based on sales volumes.

Importers of EEE or Batteries

Any company that imports EEE or batteries into India. EPR obligation applies regardless of whether the import is for resale, distribution, or internal use. Includes companies importing finished products, components, or assemblies.

Large Buyers of EEE or Batteries

Companies that purchase EEE above the prescribed threshold for internal business use. In practice, this covers virtually all mid-to-large corporates — IT companies, banks, hospitals, manufacturers, and telecom operators.

Frequently Asked Questions

EPR Questions Answered

What exactly is an EPR certificate and why do I need one?
An EPR certificate is a document issued by a CPCB-registered recycler or PRO confirming that a specific quantity of electronic waste has been collected and recycled on your behalf — fulfilling part or all of your annual EPR target. This certificate is the primary evidence for your annual EPR return filing with CPCB. Without it, you cannot demonstrate compliance with the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022.
