Under the E‑Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 (effective April 1, 2023), the extended producer responsibility (EPR) regime mandates that all stakeholders in the e-waste lifecycle, including Producers, Manufacturers, Importers, Recyclers, and Refurbishers, register on the CPCB EPR Portal and fulfil assigned recycling targets.
EPR aims to reduce environmental harm from e-waste, promote circular economy practices, and reduce dependence on informal recycling sectors.
