EPR stands for "Extended Producer's Responsibility." For E-waste management, an EPR Certificate is required for Indian manufacturers and importers of products. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), which is part of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MOEFCC), grants EPR authorization. With EPR India approval, the maker / importer of electronic and electrical products is responsible for controlling E-waste generated by the products after their lifetime has expired.
Electronic waste or E-WASTE is a term for electronic products that have become non-functional, undesired, or unusable and have essentially reached the end of their useful life. Electronic waste is not just waste it also contains some very toxic substance such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic etc.
The E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016 were issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in response to the E-waste generated in India by various producers of these wastes such as manufacturers, producers, consumers, bulk consumers, collection centers, dealers, e-retailers, refurbishes, dismantlers, and recyclers involved in the manufacture, sale, transfer, purchase, collection, storage, and processing of e-waste or electrical and electronic equipment listed in SECTION 2 of the Electric Equipment. According to these guidelines, any manufacturer of electrical or electronic equipment is responsible for channeling e-waste and ensuring environmentally appropriate waste treatment.
We E-waste certificate consultants in India are well-equipped and geared-up to provide a complete end-to-end solution for EPR for E-waste certificate.

--> EPR promotes the recycling and reuse of the e-waste (Electrical and electronics waste), hence reduces the cost of raw material for the producers/manufacturers.
--> EPR ensures the management of e-waste in environmentally friendly manner, hence reduce the harmful impact of e-waste on environment.
--> EPR Authorization from Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) enhance the goodwill of the product and brand reputation in the market.
--> EPR promotes sustainable development, hence lowers the waste generation and misuse of the natural resources.
