EPR, or Extended Producer Responsibility, is a crucial concept in waste management. It holds producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, including their disposal. By implementing EPR, the burden of managing and recycling plastic waste is shifted from the government and taxpayers to the producers themselves, encouraging them to adopt more sustainable practices and reduce the environmental impact of their products.

Staying on top of new regulations can be a challenge, but being informed is key. Here’s what you need to know about plastic waste management under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules:

The EPR framework makes producers responsible for collecting, recycling, and safely disposing of plastic packaging after consumer use. This aims to improve recycling rates and reduce plastic pollution.

Key requirements include:

• Registering your business if you manufacture, import, or sell packaged products
• Submitting annual reports on plastic use and waste management
• Achieving yearly plastic waste collection & recycling targets
