We assist PIBOs with seamless ELV EPR registration on the CPCB portal, handling complete documentation preparation including eligibility checks, process flow diagrams, tie-ups with registered dismantlers, and application filing.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy-based environmental regulation approach. It holds producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) accountable for their end-of-life products and the waste they generate.
CPCB is the responsible body where all the EPR registrations of the businesses must take place. As per their regulations, all the PIBOs are expected to register, meet Sustainability targets, and provide traceable annual audits.
