EPR Authorization - Extended Producers Responsibility
Extended Producers Responsibility, in short, EPR intends to provide an incentive to manufactures for designing durable and recyclable products. Further, the sole aim is to reduce the waste generation and protect the environment.
But how does it help the environment, it mandates the producers to make durable and recyclable products. If the product life is long, it will not end up in a scrap. As a result, the generation of waste is low, and the disposal of waste is lessened. This method increases the production of reliable products with the safety of environment.
According to Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), EPR is a policy for environmental protection. Its goal is to make the producers liable for the environmental influence of the products they manufacture.
Under EPR, the producers are given the responsibility for the treatment and disposal of the post-consumer products. This could prevent the waste at source and promote designing according to environmental needs.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change recently published the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016. It emphasized the mandatory requirement of EPR Authorization for all producers of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE).
EPR was introduced for improving the collection, recycling, and treatment of the waste products. Additionally, the scope of EPR is not just limited to financial obligations, but it extends to waste management, logistics, and product designing responsibilities.
According to the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016
For making the people aware and better e-waste management EPR authorization is necessary. The E-waste scrap cannot be simply thrown away as it will harm the environment. They need to properly disposed and recycled.
The following categories of electrical and electronic equipment need an EPR Authorization:
According to the recent clarifications by the government, EPR authorization is not applicable to the following-
Following documents are required for EPR Authorization for Proprietary/LLP/OPC & Partnership Entity-
Documents which are mandatory for EPR Authorization for Private Limited and Public Limited Company-
Step 1 # Submission of Document
Online application by the producers/manufacturers, dismantler, recyclers, refurbisher of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment along with submission of hard copies of the application in Form-I accompanied with required documents. Further, the applicant needs to check the documents before the application is filed.
Step 2 # Verification of Documents
The Central Pollution Control Board has the duty to verify and investigate the information provided with the period of 25 days of receipt of application
Step 3 # Grant of EPR Authorization by Pollution Control Board
After the verification of documents, the Central Pollution Control Board will grant the EPR in Form no 1(AA) within 120 days from the receipt of application.
The Extended Producers Responsibility authorization shall be valid for five years.
The failure to obtain an EPR authorization is a punishable offence under section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 with imprisonment extending up to 5 years or fine up to Rs 1 Lakhs or with both.
The Micro and small enterprises are one of the major sources for e-waste generation but they are not burdened with EPR responsibility as applicable to other producers.
The collection is now the exclusive responsibility of the producers. They can set up collection centres for e-waste. Additionally, there is no need for a separate authorization for such collection.
These rules have introduced the liability for damages caused to the environment or any other party due to the mismanagement of the e-waste.
The time duration for getting an EPR Authorization Registration depends on case to case.
