EPR



What is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a revolutionary concept in environmental management. It redistributes the responsibility for the responsible disposal and recycling of products back to the entities that produce, import, or brand them. EPR signifies a paradigm shift from a linear consumption model to a circular one, where the end-of-life of a product is considered right from its inception.

EPR is a beacon of hope for a more sustainable future, and it’s a key driver behind our relentless commitment to responsible E-waste management.



E-waste Management Rules 2022


E-waste Management Rules 2022 The E-waste Management Rules of 2022 represent a significant milestone in the journey towards eco-conscious electronic waste management. These rules came into effect on April 1, 2023, and their primary objective is the creation of an eco-conscious and sustainable electronic waste ecosystem.

Under these rules, various stakeholders, particularly Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs), have been entrusted with significant responsibilities to ensure the responsible management of electronic waste. The implications of these rules extend to the entire lifecycle of electronic products, making it essential for PIBOs to adapt to new norms and practices.





Duties and Obligations of PIBOs

For Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs), adhering to the new E-waste Management Rules is not just a legal obligation but a significant step toward environmental stewardship. These responsibilities encompass:



Meeting Recycling Targets

The Rules have introduced stringent annual E-waste recycling targets that PIBOs are mandated to achieve. These targets are a pivotal force in diverting electronic waste away from landfills and advancing the cause of responsible recycling.

Ensuring Safe Disposal

PIBOs bear the vital responsibility of ensuring that electronic waste is disposed of in a manner that aligns with environmentally sound practices. This commitment to safe disposal not only mitigates potential harm to the environment but also safeguards public health, setting the stage for a more sustainable future.

Managing Hazardous Materials

Many electronic products harbor hazardous components, including batteries and specific chemicals. It is incumbent upon PIBOs to oversee the proper handling and disposal of these potentially harmful materials. By doing so, they play a pivotal role in reducing risks and environmental impact.

As responsible stewards of electronic waste, PIBOs are at the forefront of driving positive change and promoting sustainability in the realm of electronic waste management.
