Online EPR Registration for plastic packaging is a process of getting authorization from the Central pollution control board for plastic waste management. The objective of EPR is to manage plastic waste generated by PIBOs at pre-consumer and post-consumer stages. It is the responsibility of producers, importers and brand owners (PIBOs) to recycle, re-use & dispose of it. The CPCB EPR plastic authorization is granted to concerned PIBOs to regulate their waste generation and meet EPR targets annually.
To achieve their plastic EPR obligations annually the PIBOs (Producer, importer and brand owners) are required to file their online application with Central pollution control board or state pollution control board respectively. The Authorization is granted to PIBOs after through verification of audit of road map layed out by PIBOs to dispose of plastic waste generated by them.

EPR registration refers to the process through which importers, producers & brand owners of plastic packaging & goods get authorization to implement EPR regulations set by the CPCB/SPCPs. It involves the formal EPR registration of an entity as a responsible PIBOs, indicating their commitment to managing and reducing the environmental impact of their products throughout its life cycle.
Under the guidelines for EPR, the eligibility for EPR registration for plastic waste classified among three entities called PIBOs
Any entity that falls into above mentioned criteria are eligible to get EPR registration for plastic except micro and small MSMEs.
Plastics are categorized into four categories by the central pollution control board of India. Any entity engaging in importing or producing any of these are required to have EPR certification for plastic waste generation.
NOTE:- If waste plastic is utilized in road construction, applicants are required to produce a self-declaration certificate using the proforma created by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
The registration for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plays a vital role in nurturing sustainable waste management practices. It incentivizes businesses to take responsibility for their products, specifically their plastic packaging and post-consumer waste. By enrolling in EPR, businesses showcase their dedication to environmental sustainability, thereby enhancing their reputation among consumers, investors, and regulatory bodies.
Note:- In case PIBOs qualify as both brand owner, producer & importers of plastic respectively then it is obligatory for them to get separate CPCB registration in those respective categories.
The fees for EPR registration for plastic is categorized on the basis of waste generated by PIBOs per annum.
| Plastic Waste Generated in TPA | EPR Registration fees(Govt) |
|---|---|
| ✅ Less than 1000 | ₹10,000 |
| ✅ Between 1000-10000 | ₹20,000 |
| ✅ More than 10000 | ₹50,000 |
EPR Registration process for getting authorisation from CPCB as an PIBO of plastic products are classified under four parts.

Micro and small MSMES are exempted from getting an CPCB EPR registration and are not required to meet EPR targets. However it is also a social responsibility to keep plastic waste generation at minimum for a better future and environment.
PIBOs are eligible to acquire EPR certification.

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 .
