A Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) is an agency that helps producers, importers and brand owners meet extended producer responsibility obligations by organising collection and channelling waste to processors. PROs register on the relevant CPCB EPR portals where the rules recognise them, such as for plastic packaging. Under newer certificate-based regimes, their role is focused on facilitation and collection.
