EPR Registration Services

Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, places the responsibility for environmentally sound management of a product at the end of its life on the producer, importer, and brand owner who placed it in the market. In India, this obligation is codified through separate rules covering plastic packaging waste, electronic waste, and battery waste, each requiring registration on the Central Pollution Control Board's dedicated portal and the fulfilment of annual recycling or collection targets. Any business that manufactures, imports, or brands products falling within these categories is expected to register and report, regardless of its size or the scale of its operations.

Why This Matters

Operating without EPR registration, or falling short of annual targets, can result in environmental compensation being levied, restrictions on further sales, and in some cases denial of import clearance for affected product categories. As enforcement has intensified and cross-checks between customs, pollution control boards, and e-commerce platforms have grown tighter, businesses that treated EPR as a low priority are increasingly finding it affects their ability to trade freely. Proper registration and target planning also protect a brand's standing with retail partners and consumers who are paying closer attention to environmental compliance.

How We Help

Applicability Assessment

We assess whether your business qualifies as a producer, importer, or brand owner under the plastic, e-waste, or battery waste rules, and determine which category or categories of registration apply to your specific product mix.

Portal Registration and Documentation

We prepare and file the registration application on the applicable Central Pollution Control Board portal, compiling the product, packaging, and sales data required and liaising on queries raised during processing.

Target Planning and Credit Management

We help you plan realistic annual collection, recycling, or refurbishment targets, and guide you on sourcing and reconciling the relevant certificates or credits needed to demonstrate fulfilment.

Annual Reporting and Renewal

We prepare and submit the periodic and annual returns required under each rule, track deadlines across categories, and support renewal of registration well before expiry to avoid any compliance gap.

Who Needs This

• Manufacturers and importers of plastic packaging and packaged goods
• Producers, importers, and brand owners of electrical and electronic equipment
• Manufacturers and importers of batteries used in consumer and industrial products
• E-commerce and online marketplace sellers of covered product categories

Our Approach

We treat EPR compliance as an ongoing obligation rather than a one-time filing, helping you build internal processes to track sales volumes, packaging weights, and target fulfilment throughout the year so that annual reporting is a formality rather than a scramble. Our advice is tailored to the products and channels you actually deal in, and we keep track of amendments to the underlying rules so that your registration and reporting stay aligned with current requirements.
