Introduction to EPR Plastic Registration
Registering as a producer, importer, or brand owner through the EPR Plastic Portal in accordance with the Plastic Waste Management Rules of 2016.
On February 16, 2022, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEF&CC) issued an amendment to the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, known as the Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules. This amendment enforces Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as per the guidelines outlined in Schedule II. According to Clause 10.1 of the Guidelines, producers, importers, and brand-owners (PIBOs) must adhere to the regulations and standards set out in Schedule II. Clause 10.2 specifies that CPCB will complete the Standard Operating Procedure for registration and action plan pro-forma. Pollution Inventory and Reporting Officers operating in more than two States/UTs must obtain EPR Plastic Registration from CPCB, while other PIBOs must register with the appropriate SPCBs/PCCs based on the rules outlined in this document.
To comply with the amendment notification, the CPCB has started developing a portal consisting of the following modules:
- EPR Plastic Registration for PIBOs
- Registration of PWPs
- Trading & Settlement of EPR obligations by PIBOs
- Filing of Annual Returns by stakeholders
- Levying of Environmental Compensation
- Third Party Audits
- Training/ Capacity Building of stakeholders

Categories of plastic packaging under EPR Plastic
Category I: Rigid Plastic Packaging
Rigid Package Plastic, commonly known as 'rigids' in the industry, is made of either HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PP (Polypropylene) and comprises products such as containers that have separate closures, lids, or covers instead of open tops. In India, obtaining EPR Plastic Registration for Category-I Rigid Package Plastic is crucial for ensuring environmentally responsible recycling of plastic products, such as bottles and caps, which require authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Certifications Bay provides comprehensive support in EPR Plastic Certificate, including documentation and procedures to obtain an EPR Plastic Certificate for your Rigid Package Plastic products.
Category II: Flexible Plastic Packaging of single layer or multilayer (more than one layer with different types of plastic)
Flexible packaging is a type of non-rigid plastic packaging that offers more cost-effective and versatile packing options. It is a relatively new packaging technique that has gained popularity due to its high efficiency and low cost. In India, obtaining EPR Plastic Registration for Category-II Flexible Packaging Materials is a process aimed at promoting the recycling and reduction of waste plastics. This category includes flexible packaging materials like pouches, sachets, wrappers, laminates, roll stock, and other flexible products that require authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

Obtaining EPR Plastic Registration for Category-III Multilayer Packaging Materials in India is a process aimed at ensuring that plastic products are recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. Category-III covers Multilayer Packaging, including multilayered plastic packaging that consists of at least one layer of plastic and at least one layer of material other than plastic, such as laminates.
