What is EPR E-Waste?
Extended Producer Responsibility EPR E-waste is the responsibility of every producer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) for channeling e-waste to an authorized dismantler/recycler to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste.
EPR authorization is mandatory and has to be obtained by all the producers, including importers, e-retailers/online sellers/e-bay, etc. of EEE covered in E-Waste. A producer can implement its EPR either through a take-back system by setting up collection centers or both to channel e-waste/end-of-life products to authorized dismantlers/recyclers.
The producers are required to have arrangements with authorized dismantlers/recyclers either individually or collectively or through a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) or E-Waste Exchange system as spelled in their EPR Plan, which is approved/authorized by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
These rules apply to every producer, consumer or bulk consumer, collection center, dismantler, and recycler of e-waste involved in the manufacture, sale, purchase, and processing of electrical and electronic equipment or components specified in Schedule 1 of these Rules.

EPR Policies in India
This approach reflects a commitment to sustainability. However, implementing EPR management for e-waste can be a complicated and time-consuming process. Like in accordance to the Indian government’s eWaste Management Act of 2016:
- Producers, importers, manufacturers, and brand owners are responsible for reducing e-waste pollution according to environmental guidelines.
- Rule 13 (1) of the 2016 Rules grants the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) the authority to issue, renew, or deny EPR.
- The CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) oversees the enforcement of EPR and provides specific instructions for producers on managing e-waste, including recycling, storage, disassembly, and refurbishment.
