Extended Producer Responsibility EPR Certification is a mandatory authorization for producers, manufacturers, and importers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in India, ensuring environmentally sound management of e-waste. Established under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, and overseen by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), EPR mandates that producers are accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, including take-back, recycling, and safe disposal.
