The state of Karnataka, which is known for its rich cultural heritage and progressive environmental policies, is struggling to effectively manage rubber waste, due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. The improper management of rubber waste, which originates from various sources such as automotive tires, industrial processes, and consumer products, can cause significant environmental and health risks.
The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has implemented regulations on compliance with rubber waste to address the environmental challenge posed by discarded rubber products, especially tires. These regulations aim to minimize the environmental impact of used rubber by directing proper disposal and encouraging recycling practices. We will navigate EPR rubber waste compliance in Karnataka, helping both businesses and residents understand their role in tackling the growing challenge.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
