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/on-line sellers/e-bay etc. of EEE covered in E-Waste. A producer can implement its EPR either through take-back system or by setting up collection centers or both for channelization of e-waste/end of life products to authorized dismantlers/recyclers.

The producers are required to have arrangements with authorized dismantlers/recyclers either individually or collectively or through a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) or E-Waste Exchange system as spelt in their EPR Plan which is approved/authorized by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

These rules are applicable to every producer, consumer or bulk consumer, collection centre, dismantler and recycler of e-waste involved in the manufacture, sale, purchase and processing of electrical and electronic equipment or components specified in schedule – I of these Rules.
