Proper handling and recycling of plastic waste is thus a problem that must be tackled through the introduction of a license for the handling and recycling of plastic waste scrap. As a way of ensuring that only accredited organizations deal with these materials, this system seeks to regulate the collection, processing, and sale of plastic trash.
Licensing will facilitate the tracking of plastic garbage, promote the right approach to recycling, and help reduce cases of unlawful dumping of garbage. The companies that deal in the disposal of plastic trash are expected under the new legislation to secure licenses that provide for compliance with waste management procedures as well as environmental standards. This includes meeting the regulation on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which holds producers responsible for products at the post-consumer stage and onward.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Plastic Waste Authorization is a permit that businesses in India need to legally handle plastic waste. This includes collecting, storing, moving, processing, or recycling it. This rule is part of the Plastic Waste Management Rules from 2016, which are designed to help manage plastic waste in an environmentally friendly way.
Anyone involved in dealing with plastic waste, such as manufacturers, users, large users, collection points, processors, or recyclers, must get this authorization from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Union Territory Pollution Control Committee (UTPCC).
To get authorization, businesses must show a valid company registration certificate, proof that they own or lease the property, information about their machinery and equipment, and a plan for managing the environment. The exact requirements can change depending on what the business does and how big it is.
The permit for plastic waste usually lasts for five years and can be extended by applying for a renewal at least 120 days before it ends.

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.
