WHAT IS EPR?
Following the principles of carbon emission taxes, Extended Producer Responsibility is a concept where manufacturers and importers of products bear a significant degree of responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products throughout the product life-cycle.
The EPR legislation in India makes it mandatory for companies to establish a collect-back scheme for the plastic they produce. This means that it is the responsibility of the producer to ensure the products they produce will enter back into the Circular Economy.
WHY EPR matters?
If not managed correctly, plastic waste poses a critical threat to our environment. Considering the increased use of the material and its numerous applications, the amount of plastic waste has seen an exponential rise in the last couple of years.
It's therefore crucial for plastic producers and manufacturers to manage the collection and processing of the plastic waste they produce.
