Manufacturers, importers, and brand owners who deal with electrical and electronic equipment, including wire waste, are required to register for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). According to the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change's (MoEF&CC) E-Waste (Management) Rules, organizations that manufacture or import wires and cables are required to register for an EPR with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Electrical wires and cables that have been discarded or damaged are included in wire waste, which is a subset of e-waste. If not disposed of appropriately, the materials found in these wires such as copper, aluminum, and plastic can pose a risk to the environment. Producers are held responsible for the collection, recycling, and ecologically responsible disposal of the wire waste they produce thanks to EPR.
Online applications for EPR registration guarantee a quicker, more efficient, and transparent approval process. Company PAN, GST, product details, and a thorough EPR action plan detailing waste management tactics are among the documents that businesses must submit. The CPCB's online registration system supports the government's objective of sustainable waste management while encouraging responsible e-waste handling.
Businesses that follow to EPR standards not only fulfill their legal requirements but also help create a cleaner, greener world. To properly manage wire waste, begin your online EPR registration now.

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.
