EPR or Extended Producer Responsibility is a mandate issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) that applies to electronic and electric equipment listed under Schedule 1. This includes all components, consumables, and spare parts. The EPR regulation is binding on all producers of electronics in the country, including manufacturers, importers, dealers, e-retailers, and bulk consumers. The primary objective is to ensure proper disposal of e-waste to prevent hazardous effects on the environment and living beings.
By obtaining EPR registration, producers are entrusted with the additional responsibility of managing the entire lifecycle of electronics. This includes proper disposal, transportation, storage, dismantling, segregation, and recycling through authorized e-waste recyclers once the equipment has expired.
