The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been given the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) authorization beneath the new e-waste regulations—diverting it from the State Pollution Boards—the Environment Ministry has told a Parliamentary panel. The Ministry stated this in its reply to the Committee of Subordinate Legislation 2016–17 whose 23rd report on movement taken via the government on pointers of its 15th record of the committee on e-waste control. The committee had earlier cited that poor overall performance in submission of annual returns via State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) has been derailing the whole system of collecting facts and tracking implementation of the e-waste rules in an effective manner.

It had also in its recommendation requested the Environment Ministry to “reign in” erring state forums and ensure strict compliance of the regulations. The EPR Consultancy is a policy method underneath which producers are given a good sized responsibility—financial or physical—for the treatment or disposal of post-customer merchandise. “Poor overall performance of SPCBs has been underneath review on the grounds that long under all of the Waste Management Rules best with appreciate to the submission of annual return but additionally their function in regulation, monitoring and making sure vital compliance,” the Ministry said in its reply. “Accordingly inside the amended new E-Waste Rules 2016, the EPR authorization has been made Central Pollution Control Board’s responsibility with pan India implementation, diverting from the duty of SPCBs, thus lowering the weight of SPCBs significantly,” the Ministry added.

It stated the position of State Boards underneath the guidelines is now restricted to issuance of authorization to dismantles, giving them ample scope of specializing in tracking and compliance which encompass well timed submission of annual reports. E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 and Guidelines through CPCB states that Producers/producers/ distributors/Bulk Consumers of the goods are responsible and accountable to make sure its whole disposal at the give up of its life cycle. R2 PROMISE – Responsible Recycling Producer Responsibility Organization for Management, Information & Support for E-waste disposal.

We underwrite the implementation of EPR scheme on behalf of the producers. We provide manufacturers, services essential to fulfill their statutory, criminal and social responsibilities for E-waste recycling. R2 PROMISE can implement entire EPR addressing numerous profiles defined below new rules by way of helping to draw up appropriate processes/plans, implement, music and file. Some of the services we provide are:

  • EPR Authorization with EPR planning, Documentation and Approval • Compliance Services as in line with the brand new e-waste management guidelines.
  • EPR framework design & Implementation • End to end e-waste control from collection to recycling of waste • Documentation for statutory, criminal and social responsibilities & filling • In the sector of waste management, prolonged producer duty (EPR) is a strategy to add all of the environmental expenses related to a product at some point of the product lifestyles cycle to the market fee of that product.[1] Extended manufacturer obligation legislation is a driving force at the back of the adoption of re-manufacturing initiatives because it “specializes in the cease-of-use remedy of consumer products and has the primary intention to increase the amount and degree of product recovery and to limit the environmental impact of waste materials”.
  • The concept was first formally introduced in Sweden through Thomas Individualist during a 1990 record to the Swedish Ministry of the Environment. In subsequent reports prepared for the Ministry, the subsequent definition emerged: “[EPR] is an environmental protection approach to achieve an environmental objective of a decreased overall environmental impact of a product, by making the producer of the product responsible for the whole existence-cycle of the product and specially for the take-lower back, recycling and very last disposal EPR makes use of monetary incentives to encourage manufacturers to design environmentally friendly products via holding manufacturers answerable for the costs of coping with their merchandise at quit of lifestyles.

This policy approach differs from product stewardship, which shares responsibility throughout the chain of custody of a product,[5] in that it attempts to relieve local governments of the charges of dealing with positive priority products by requiring manufacturers to internalize the price of recycling inside the product charge. EPR is primarily based on the precept that producers (usually logo owners) have the best manipulate over product design and advertising and feature the greatest capacity and duty to lessen toxicity and waste. EPR may additionally take the shape of a reuse, buyback, or recycling program. The producer might also also select to delegate this responsibility to a 3rd party, a so-referred to as producer obligation organization (PRO), that’s paid by means of the producer for used-product management. In this way, EPR shifts the requirement for waste management from government to nonpublic industry, obliging manufacturers, importers
