‘Extended Producers Responsibility’ (EPR) registration has been instituted by the Central Pollution Control Board of India. The EPR registration manages the different categories of waste, industrial battery waste comes in the category of battery waste which is then disposed of with adherence to Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023. The EPR registration ensures that the entities take responsibility for the waste that is produced throughout the lifespan of industrial batteries, EPR then takes configurative measures to curb battery waste.
We, the team of Professional Utilities, aid the entities to begin the EPR Registration Process and after fulfilling the required eligibility criteria for the process of the CPCB EPR registration. We provide the entities with compliance and hassle-free EPR Registration certificate by utilizing time management tactics.

Industrial Battery is specifically designed for industrial uses, excluding Portable Battery, Electric Vehicle Battery and Automotive Battery. The Industrial Battery can also consist of sealed Battery (excluding portable battery); unsealed Battery (excluding automotive Battery) and energy storage system Battery. After being fully drained out of energy, the industrial batteries require to be recharged to be used again.
Once the industrial battery can not be recharged then it becomes a waste battery and it is disposed of with adherence to the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023. EPR registration is required for the management and disposal of the industry battery waste, as per the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023.
Here are the Benefits of EPR registration for management of the industrial battery waste:
The entities who have completed EPR registration certificate for industrial battery waste must ensure efficient management of the waste generated throughout the lifespan of the industrial batteries. To properly deplete the industrial battery waste the responsible entities may implement a waste collection system and recycle the industrial battery waste and meet the annual target.
The industrial battery manufacturers who possess an EPR registration certificate for the management of the industrial battery waste have to opt for the recycling. The recycling of the battery waste will reduce the charges that are faced by businesses to get rid of or to manage the industrial battery waste.
Businesses must comply with the EPR registration certificate and implement recycling plans for the industrial battery waste and not dispose of it through the waste process, which will be financially cheaper and aid the businesses with valuable materials. Reusable materials like zinc and iron and many more metals, plastics, and secondary materials are recovered from the industrial battery waste which can be used to either produce new industrial batteries and discard the need to purchase new materials.
Mentioned below is the step-by-step process to apply for the CPCB EPR registration certificate for the management of industrial battery waste.
An entity has to document all the details about their company, products and the industrial battery waste that is generated by their products. Our team of experts, at Professional Utilities, will then assess the details submitted by the entities and evaluate any inconsistency.
After reviewing and confirming that the details and documents shared by the company match the required criteria, we will proceed to file the CPCB EPR registration for management of the industrial battery waste with the authorities of the Central Pollution Control Board.
The application, company details and documents for CPCB EPR registration for the management of industrial battery waste filed by our experts would then be assessed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) authorities. If the CPCB authorities raise any issues related to inconsistencies or disparities in the application then our team will address them as per the requirements.
After the application, company details and documents have been verified and authenticated by the CPCB authorities, the EPR registration certificate of authorization will be issued for the entity. The industrial battery manufacturers, producers and importers may authorize and establish an EPR plan to meet the annual target after receiving their EPR registration certificate.
The following list consists of all the necessary documents that the entities will be required to provide to apply for the CPCB EPR registration certificate for management of industrial battery waste is given below.
Or any entity that supplies the industrial batteries in the market must obtain an EPR registration certificate for management of the industrial battery waste.
The The government fees (excluding GST) charged for the EPR Registration for the industrial battery waste management is structured as shown in the table below.
Annual Turnover | EPR Registration Fees |
---|---|
Less than 5 crore | Rs 10,000 |
Between 5 and 50 Crores | Rs 20,000 |
Above 50 Crores | Rs 30,000 |
Note : The EPR registration fee may vary as per the quality of the industrial battery waste that is generated by the products of an entity.
Upon non-compliance of the guidelines of the EPR registration for the management of the industrial battery waste, the entity will be imposed with Environmental Compensation by the CBCP authorities. Imposition of the Environmental Compensation on the non-compliance entity falls under the provisions of section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act.
The entity found of violating any guidelines set by CPCB or complete non-compliance of the CPCB guidelines will be issued a notice and will be provided an opportunity to be heard after the 15 days of issuance of the said notice, after that the CPCB authorities will suspend or cancel their EPR registration certificate for industrial battery waste.
Conclusion
For the sustainable management of industrial battery waste, the EPR registration certificate has been mandated for the recycling of the industrial battery waste. The EPR registration also aids in the improvement of the environment by instituting recycling plans and refurbishment of reusable materials.
The entities with an EPR registration certificate of authorization for industrial battery waste benefit from financial aid, efficient management of the industrial battery waste, and a better brand image for marketing as well. The entities must know about the EPR registration process to get a certificate of authorization and establish EPR plans for efficient management of industrial battery waste.
At Professional Utilities, we leverage our industry knowledge and expertise to help businesses navigate complex regulations, minimize risks, and optimize operations for maximum efficiency and profitability.
