In an age where environmental sustainability is a pressing concern, plastic waste has emerged as a global crisis. Governments and industries alike are under mounting pressure to reduce plastic pollution and transition to circular economies. In India, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is one such strategic regulation driving this shift.
If you’re a business involved in the production, import, or sale of plastic-packaged goods, compliance with EPR regulations is not optional, it’s essential. At ReCircle, we simplify this journey with comprehensive EPR services designed to help you meet regulatory mandates while promoting true environmental stewardship.
What Is EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)?
EPR is a policy approach under which producers are given significant responsibility financially and/or physically for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. In India, the Plastic Waste Management Rules (PWM Rules), 2016, amended in 2022, made EPR for plastic packaging mandatory.
Under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, producers, importers, brand owners (PIBOs), sellers, importers of plastic (SIMPs), and plastic waste processors are responsible for ensuring the proper collection, recycling, and disposal of the plastic waste generated from their operations.
Challenges in EPR Compliance
Navigating the EPR landscape can be complex and resource-intensive. Common challenges include:
- Understanding regulatory requirements
- Filing annual returns to CPCB/SPCB
- Tracking the volume and type of plastic used

- Avoiding penalties due to non-compliance
