EPR Registration, Authorization, and License for PIBOs & PWPs
Overview
EPR Registration and Authorization are mandatory for companies involved in producing, importing, or processing waste materials such as plastic, electronics, batteries,
tyres, and used oil. These regulations are designed to ensure that the producers take responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products, including collection, recycling, and safe disposal.
CPCB/SPCB Rules & Regulations
The CPCB and SPCB have laid out specific guidelines for EPR Registration and Compliance. These regulations require PIBOs and PWPs to:
- Register with the CPCB/SPCB and obtain the necessary authorization.
- Submit an EPR plan detailing the collection, recycling, and disposal mechanisms.
- Maintain records and submit periodic compliance reports to the authorities.
- Engage with certified recyclers and waste management agencies to fulfill their EPRobligations.
Government Amendments and Importance
The government periodically updates the EPR rules to enhance waste management practices and align with global environmental standards. Recent amendments have increased the scope of EPR compliance, imposing stricter penalties for non-compliance and incentivizing sustainable practices. Compliance with these regulations is not only a legal obligation but also a critical step towards reducing environmental pollution, promoting circular economy practices, and enhancing corporate sustainability.
PRO Authorization for Waste Management Agencies
Overview
PRO (Producer Responsibility Organization) Authorization is essential for waste management agencies that manage the collection, recycling, and disposal of waste on behalf of PIBOs. Olligence assists waste management agencies in obtaining PRO Authorization, ensuring they are recognized by regulatory authorities and can legally manage waste under the EPR framework.
CPCB/SPCB Rules & Regulations
PROs are required to:
- Register with the CPCB/SPCB and obtain authorization to operate.
- Develop and implement waste management plans in line with the EPR obligations of their clients.
- Ensure proper collection and recycling of waste through certified recyclers.

Government Amendments and Importance
The government has introduced amendments to streamline the authorization process for PROs and enhance their role in waste management. PRO Authorization ensures that waste management agencies operate within the legal framework, providing transparency and accountability in waste management practices. This authorization is crucial for the effective implementation of EPR, fostering collaboration between producers and waste management entities.
Recycling Authorization/Certification for Waste Categories
Overview
Recycling Authorization/Certification is mandatory for entities involved in the recycling of Plastic, E-waste, Battery Waste, Tyre Waste, and Used Oil Waste.
