What Is EPR and Why Is It Crucial for PIBOs Today?
Understanding Extended Producer Responsibility
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a regulatory framework that holds Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) accountable for the end-of-life management of the products they place in the market. This includes proper collection, recycling, and disposal, especially of plastic, e-waste, battery, tyre, and used oil waste.
Rising Compliance Pressure on PIBOs
With strict CPCB guidelines and digitized tracking mechanisms in place, non-compliance can lead to heavy penalties, cancellation of licenses, and brand reputation risks. This makes it essential for PIBOs to not only comply—but to do it efficiently.
