Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Driving Sustainability in Waste Management

Embracing the Polluter Pays Principle

In the world of environmental stewardship, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) stands as a pivotal strategy designed to ensure that producers take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, from creation to disposal. Rooted in the "Polluter Pays Principle," EPR mandates that producers not only manage waste but also integrate sustainable practices that contribute to the broader goals of a Circular Economy.

 

More than compliance requirement; EPR is a transformative approach that helps conserve precious natural resources by utilizing recycled materials. This not only supports waste management but also fosters a healthier and safer future by minimizing environmental impact.

EPR in India: A Broadening Scope

Since adopting the EPR framework in 2016, India has expanded its reach to encompass a variety of products and packaging. This includes:

​

  1. Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016

  2. E-waste Management Rules, 2022

  3. Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022

  4. Waste Tyre under Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2022

  5. Used Oil under Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2023

  6. End-of-Life Vehicle (Management) Rules, 2024 (Draft)

 

Each regulation requires that manufacturers, producers, importers, brand owners, suppliers, dealers, bulk consumers, e-retailers, refurbisher/retreader & recyclers to not only comply with stringent standards but also actively contribute to the sustainability agenda.
