Check your Extended Producer Responsibility obligations across CPCB-regulated waste streams. Calculate collection and recycling targets and stay compliant with CPCB requirements.
CPCB is actively enforcing EPR obligations across plastic, e-waste, battery, tyre, and end-of-life vehicle streams. Non-compliance triggers Environmental Compensation assessed on shortfall tonnage, plus monetary penalties under s.15 of the EP Act 1986 (as amended by the Jan Vishwas Act 2023). Our tool maps your obligations in minutes.
Five CPCB EPR portal streams have dedicated registration portals: Plastic Waste (under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, as amended), E-Waste (under the E-Waste (Management) Rules), Battery Waste (under the Battery Waste Management Rules), Tyre Waste (under Schedule IX of the Hazardous and Other Wastes (M&TM) Amendment Rules, 2022), and End-of-Life Vehicles (under the Environment Protection (End-of-Life Vehicles) Rules, 2025, in force 1 April 2025). Used oil is managed separately under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (M&TM) Rules via SPCB authorisation, not through the CPCB EPR portal structure.
Each CPCB EPR stream has a dedicated registration portal. Verify the current portal URL on cpcb.nic.in as portal addresses may change. Registration is mandatory before commencing operations that trigger EPR obligations.
Three enforcement mechanisms apply: (1) Environmental Compensation (EC) assessed on the shortfall in collection and recycling targets, per CPCB’s published EC assessment guidelines for the relevant stream (for plastics, the guidelines revised August 2024); (2) monetary penalty under s.15 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986, as amended by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act 2023 (in force 1 April 2024) — for a company, not less than Rs 1 lakh and up to Rs 15 lakh per contravention, with a separate provision for continuing contravention; and (3) in FY 2023-24 enforcement, CPCB applied a 25% uplift to the following year’s EPR target where annual returns were not filed on time.
The Environment Protection (End-of-Life Vehicles) Rules, 2025, notified 6 January 2025 and in force from 1 April 2025, require vehicle producers to declare EPR obligations to CPCB by 30 April each year. Annual returns are filed in Form 1 by 30 June. Obligations are discharged via EPR certificates issued to Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs). Bulk consumers holding more than 100 vehicles must register and deposit EoLVs within 180 days of end-of-life. The ELV Rules do not cover batteries, plastic packaging, tyres, used oil or e-waste, which remain under their respective rules.
BRSR Principle 6 requires disclosure on waste management including EPR compliance status, collection and recycling targets, and EPR certificate holdings. Principle 2 asks about product lifecycle and end-of-life responsibility. EPR data feeds directly into these disclosures via BRSR Autopilot.
