    Extended Producer Responsibility Explained for Battery Waste Management and Legal Compliance in India

    What is EPR ?

    Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental compliance framework that places responsibility on producers, importers, brand owners, and other stakeholders for the environmentally sound management of products after they reach the end of their useful life. The objective of EPR is to ensure that waste generated from products is collected, recycled, recovered, or disposed of responsibly, reducing its impact on the environment.

    What is EPR for Tyre Waste?

    Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Tyre Waste is a regulatory framework introduced by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to ensure the environmentally sound management of end-of-life tyres. It places the responsibility on obligated entities to collect, recycle, retread, and dispose of waste tyres through authorized channels.

     

    EPR for Tyre Waste supports resource recovery, recycling, and circular economy practices, reducing landfill disposal and environmental pollution.Businesses that comply with the framework can meet their statutory obligations, strengthen ESG performance, and demonstrate responsible environmental stewardship.

    Types of Tyre Waste Covered Under CPCB EPR Rules

    Bias Tyres (Off-road, heavy-load)

    Bias tyres are built for vehicles and heavy equipment that work in tough off-road conditions. They are designed to carry heavy loads and handle rough terrain, where strength and durability matter more than high-speed performance.

    Radial Tyres (Passenger & Commercial Vehicles)

    Radial tyres are the most common choice for passenger cars, SUVs, buses, and commercial vehicles because they offer better performance, durability, and fuel efficiency.
