An Overview of Plastic Waste Processors Authorisation

In response to the escalating issue of plastic waste in India, the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has introduced the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022. These rules focus on strengthening the circular economy of plastic packaging waste and promoting alternatives to plastic. The amendment delineates the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders for effective implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

Plastic Waste Processors:

Plastic Waste Processors refer to entities involved in recycling, converting plastic waste to energy, transforming it into oil (waste to oil), and industrial composting. They play a crucial role in addressing plastic waste-related challenges and promoting sustainable practices.

Role of the Pollution Board:

The Pollution Control Board is tasked with registering Importers, Brand Owners, Producers, and now Plastic Waste Processors. It ensures compliance through examination, periodic audits, and compositional analysis of mixed municipal waste. The board publishes non-compliance lists, conducts inspections, and may charge fees for processing registrations.

Benefits of Plastic Waste Processors Authorisation:

Low Cost:
Cost-effective solutions for processing plastic waste.
Environmental Impact:
Conversion of plastic waste to fuel with a minor carbon footprint.
Potential to process non-recyclable materials.
Fuels produced can be tailored to specific requirements.

Important Points for Plastic Waste Processors Registration:

Annual returns submission after each Financial Year. False information leads to expulsion from EPR framework. Mandatory registration with the Board or Committee. Only registered Plastic Waste Processors provide certificates for waste processing. Certificates should not exceed the processor's installed capacity. Submission of details for end-of-life disposal in an environmentally sound manner.

Centralised Portal for Registration:

The Board establishes an online system for registration and filing annual returns. The centralised portal acts as a single-point data repository for EPR implementation. Activities will be conducted offline until the online portal is developed.

Registration Process:

Registration through the centralised EPR portal. Entities placing products in the market have EPR obligations from the next year. No operation without registration, and dealing only with registered entities. Cancellation of registration for providing false information or non-compliance, with a one-year ban on re-registration.
