How To Get EPR Certificate For Customs?

The Draft Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2021, issued by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change raise the concern for appropriate waste management.

In the case of EPR authorization, the term, waste, can refer to plastic and e-waste as both need to obtain an EPR authorization, which serves as proof that established compliance requirements have been met.

India has taken several steps for the purpose of environment preservation, if we talk about plastic waste, then India recycles over 60 percent of its plastic, as per the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) 2019 report.

However, if we are talking about an EPR certificate for customs, we would like to apprise you that it is mandatory to obtain an EPR certificate for import any product which can result in e-waste and plastic waste. Considering that, you are required to ensure conformance with compliance of other countries to export a product.

What Are the Benefits of EPR Authorization?

• Minimize the dependence on other waste disposal methods such as burying or burning.
• EPR also diminishes the efforts of local municipalities in maintaining the waste physically and financially.
• Ensures proper recycling and refurbished products or their parts.
• Manages to amplify the ease and promptitude of dissembling the products.
• Promotes the conservation of natural resources.
• Minimize the quantity of waste.
