Plastic EPR Authorization in India
Expert Plastic EPR Services to Simplify Your Environmental Compliance
Is your business struggling to navigate India’s plastic waste regulations? You’re not alone. With increasingly stringent environmental laws, many companies find themselves overwhelmed by the complex requirements of Plastic EPR compliance.
At Grant Tech Solutions, we specialize in turning this regulatory challenge into a seamless process, helping businesses like yours achieve full compliance while contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable India.
Understanding Plastic EPR: Your Environmental Responsibility Made Clear
Plastic EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is more than just paperwork—it’s your company’s commitment to managing the environmental impact of the plastic packaging you introduce into the market. Mandated by the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016 (as amended in 2022), this regulation requires producers, importers, and brand owners to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their plastic packaging.
“Meeting your Plastic EPR obligations doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right partner, compliance becomes an opportunity rather than a burden.”
Does Your Business Need Plastic EPR Authorization?
If your business activities include any of the following, Plastic EPR compliance is mandatory for you:
Manufacturing products with plastic packaging in India
Importing goods that use plastic packaging of any kind
Selling products under your brand name in plastic packaging
Processing plastic waste as a recycler or co-processor
Not sure if you qualify? Our experts can quickly assess your specific situation and provide clear guidance tailored to your business needs.
The Four Categories of Plastic Packaging Under EPR Rules
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has established specific classifications for plastic packaging, each with different compliance requirements:
Category I: Rigid Plastic Packaging
This includes plastic bottles, jars, containers, and other rigid packaging that maintains its shape under normal use.
Category II: Flexible Plastic Packaging
Covers single-layer or multi-layer plastic films, pouches, and bags that are flexible in nature.
Category III: Multi-layered Plastic Packaging
Includes packaging with at least one layer of plastic combined with other materials like paper, foil, or other substrates.
Category IV: Compostable Plastic
Biodegradable plastic packaging that can decompose into natural elements under composting conditions.
