Channelization Of E-Waste
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)is the responsibility of every producer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) for channelization of e-waste to an authorized dismantler/recycler to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste.
EPR authorization is mandatory and has to be obtained by all the producers including importers, e-retailers/online sellers/e-bay etc. of EEE covered in E-Waste. A producer can implement its EPR either through a take-back system or by setting up collection centres or both for channelization of e-waste/end of life products to authorized dismantlers/recyclers.
This Extended Producer Responsibility is the one of the protocols that highlights the importance of the manufacture in regulating the life cycle of their products after they are consumed. With their pollution surmounting and increasing year after year, Indian Government started gave EPR policy in 2011 and further accredited CPCB for authorising certification with EPR as per E-waste rule 2016
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been given the authority to authorise new E-waste rules under the jurisdiction of Environment ministry. Companies now have to consult CPCB to get their E-waste management certification, this is where Yush Liaison Services can use their expertise in making sure your products.
In EPR producers are given extra responsibility (physical/financial) for treating their disposals in a manner to either reuse them systematically. CPCB has in their notice emphasized all producers of Electrical and Electronic Equipment under the E-Waste rules of 2016 to get EPR certification. The respective authorization. This certificate once acquired shall remain valid for five years from the date of announcement. Before 120 days of expiry one can file for renewal of their certificate with CPCB, for which compliance report must be obtained from concerned State Pollution Control Board. Every year producer must submit their annual records on or before the 30th day of June of every year.
Every manufacturer, producer, consumer, bulk consumer, collection centres, dealers, e-retailer, refurbisher, dismantler and recycler involved in manufacture, sale, transfer, purchase, collection, storage and processing of e-waste or electrical and electronic equipment listed come under these E-waste rules. First of all Form-1 needs to be filled by the concerned producer and then within 120 days after undergoing thoroughly inspection CPCB will grant Extended Producer Responsibility || EPR Authorisation Company || EPR Implementation Service (EPR) Extended Producer Responsibility means responsibility of any producer of electrical or electronic equipment, for channelization of e-waste to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste. Extended Producer Responsibility may comprise of implementing take back system or setting up of collection centres or both and having agreed arrangements with EPR Authorisation dismantler or recycler either individually or collectively
