Waste oil—generated from industrial machinery, automobiles, power generation units, and manufacturing processes—poses serious environmental risks if not handled scientifically. Improper disposal of used oil leads to soil contamination, water pollution, fire hazards, and long-term ecological damage.
To address these challenges, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Waste Oil was introduced under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, further strengthened through amendments and the Waste Oil EPR Framework notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
Waste Oil EPR marked a critical shift by making producers, importers, and bulk generators responsible for the environmentally sound collection, recycling, and re-refining of used oil.
Since its implementation, Waste Oil EPR has:
Today, Waste Oil EPR is a key pillar of industrial sustainability, regulatory compliance, and circular economy practices in India.
MoEFCC (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change)
MoEFCC is the apex policy-making authority responsible for:
CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board)
CPCB is the central implementing authority for Waste Oil EPR. Its key roles include:
SPCBs / PCCs
State Pollution Control Boards and Pollution Control Committees support CPCB by:
This integrated framework ensures traceability, environmental protection, and compliance enforcement across the waste oil value chain.
Waste Oil EPR applies to entities involved in the production, import, and generation of used oil.

At Kar Parivartan, we simplify Waste Oil EPR through a structured, compliant, and transparent approach, enabling businesses to meet regulatory requirements with confidence.
Over time, the framework was strengthened through amendments in 2018, 2021, and most significantly with the EPR Guidelines for Plastic Packaging, 2022, which introduced:
Step 1: Applicability & Compliance Assessment
We assess your oil consumption, production, or import data to determine EPR applicability and obligations.
Step 2: Waste Oil EPR Registration
Our experts manage complete registration on the CPCB Waste Oil EPR portal, ensuring accurate documentation and approvals.
Step 3: EPR Target Calculation & Planning
We calculate annual EPR targets and create a compliance roadmap aligned with CPCB guidelines.
Step 4: Authorized Recycler & Re-refiner Onboarding
We onboard CPCB-authorized re-refiners and recyclers, ensuring safe handling, traceability, and environmental compliance.
Step 5: Waste Oil Collection & Channelization
We coordinate collection, transportation, and transfer of waste oil to approved facilities.
Step 6: EPR Credit Generation & Fulfillment
Our team manages EPR credit generation, utilization, and mapping through the CPCB portal.
Step 7: Reporting, Audit & Ongoing Compliance
We handle documentation, audit support, periodic filings, and continuous monitoring to ensure sustained compliance.
