Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the legal framework that requires producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) to manage the environmental effect of waste from their products. For glass waste, this implies that enterprises who manufacture, import, or sell glass-based products or packaging are legally obligated to guarantee proper collection, recycling, and environmentally responsible disposal.
CPCB guidelines require qualified companies to seek EPR registration for glass trash and undertake sustainable waste management methods. This involves developing an EPR action plan, engaging with approved recyclers, and achieving yearly waste processing objectives. Non-compliance may result in the suspension of the EPR certificate, financial fines, and environmental compensation.
At Professional Utilities, we provide comprehensive support with EPR registration for glass waste with the Central or State Pollution Control Board. From document preparation and application submission to post-registration support, our team guarantees that your company remains legally compliant and ecologically responsible.

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 .
