Extended Producer Responsibility refers to any producer of electrical or electronic equipment's responsibility for e-waste channelization and environmentally sound waste disposal. Extended Producer Responsibility can include implementing a take-back system, setting up collection centers, or both, as well as having agreed-upon arrangements with an authorized dismantler or recycler, either individually or collectively through a Producer Responsibility Organization recognized by the producer or producers in their Extended Producer Responsibility – Authorisation.

EPR Certificate refers to a producer's permission from the Central Pollution Control Board to manage Extended Producer Responsibility with the implementation plans and targets outlined in the authorization, which may include details of the Producer Responsibility Organization and, if applicable, e-waste exchange.

Extended Producer Responsibility Policies

In India Extended Producer Responsibility came into frame to deal With E-Waste & Plastic Waste.

EPR Registration gives emphasis on: -

• As per environmental policy, stated Producer has the responsibility, for reducing environmental impact and managing the product and their waste, are extended to across the whole life cycle of the product
• As per Rule 13 (1) (Management) Rules, 2016 Central pollution control board has been mandated to grant, renew or refuse Extended producers responsibility (EPR) -Authorization to Producers
• Central pollution control board has made direction on the implementation of EPR which includes specific direction for Producers and other stakeholders for extended producer responsibility (EPR) Authorization, channelization, collection, storage, transportation, environmentally sound dismantling, recycling, and refurbishment.  

Role of EPR Authorization

Following are the main aims of EPR:

• To cover the costs of the products' end-of-life
• To provide incentives for eco-design
• To achieve resource efficiency
• To assure that recycling is of high quality

Major Advantages of EPR are as follows:

• Producers adjust packaging design and selection as a result of EPR, resulting in greater recyclability and/or reduced packaging consumption.
• EPR increases funding for recycling programs, resulting in higher recycling rates.
• EPR increases the efficiency of recycling programs, resulting in lower costs and a societal benefit.
• EPR results in a more equitable waste management system in which individual consumers, rather than general taxpayers, bear the cost of their own consumption.

• EPR in E-Waste Management
• EPR in Plastic Waste Management
• EPR in Battery Waste Management
