The Central Pollution Control Board has amended its guidelines regarding the waste management regulations in India. The amendment has added new provisions regarding the used oil under the extended producer responsibility. Previously under the preview of EPR also known as extended producer responsibility waste is categorized in four categories.
However, after the new amendment in EPR waste guidelines a new waste category for used oil is introduced under extended producer responsibility for manufacturer, importer and recyclers. Therefore EPR for used oil is mandatory and all the manufacturers, importers & recyclers are required to get EPR certification for their businesses from CPCB/SPCB respectively.
The objective of extending the preview of EPR regime to new categories of waste is due to the nature of waste generated through the product at pre-consumer and post consumer stages. Let's dive further into the article to learn more about EPR Registration for used oil and its certification process.

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 .
