Extended Producer Responsibility is referred to as EPR. Producers, importers, brand owners, and manufacturers who are involved in the production of items that generate e-waste, plastic trash, battery waste, or tire waste are required to register for EPR under the Extended Producer Responsibility Rules of India. To make up for the trash their products have created in the marketplace, they must get a certificate. The polluter pays theory is the basis of this policy. The EPR Certificate ensures that producers, importers, and business owners follow sustainable development and help reduce waste in the economy.
Manufacturers must get an EPR authorization, eliminate any waste they have created, and report the results to the CPCB annually. As a result of this, the federal and state governments are relieved of some of their burden, as they are no longer concerned with the time and resources that the trash management process will require. If any such organization or individuals who are supposed to take the certificate of EPR and comply with the Extended Producer Responsibility norms do not follow the same, they shall be liable for a fine.
