EPR Compliance for PIBOs — Plastic, E-Waste & Packaging
This course provides a comprehensive, regulation-grounded understanding of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance in India for Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs). Covering the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016 (as amended through 2024), the E-Waste (Management) Rules 2022, and the packaging waste obligations under CPCB guidelines, the course walks compliance officers through the entire EPR lifecycle: CPCB registration, target calculation, recycling certificate procurement, quarterly returns filing, and penalty exposure (up to Rs 1 crore). You will learn how to interact with State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs), understand the centralised EPR portal operations, navigate the EPR certificate trading mechanism, and build a compliance calendar that ensures your organisation meets every deadline. The course includes practical case studies from FMCG, electronics, and e-commerce sectors, with worked examples of EPR target calculations, offset certificate matching, and audit trail maintenance.
