5 min read Awareness

Plastic packaging EPR is one of the most widely applicable categories, affecting any business that places plastic-packaged products into the market.

Under this framework, producers, importers, and brand owners using plastic packaging are responsible for ensuring a defined portion of that packaging is collected and recycled or otherwise processed responsibly.

Registration on the CPCB portal requires details of the specific plastic packaging categories and quantities you place in the market, which forms the basis for calculating your EPR obligations.

Businesses often need to work with registered recyclers or waste processing partners to fulfill their EPR targets, making early registration and planning important rather than a last-minute scramble near a filing deadline.
