Extended Producer Responsibility Certificate is a document made mandatory by the Central Pollution Control Board for the electronics manufacturers if they wish to continue their operations. In this blog, we are going to look into the requirements to obtain one.
To show your solidarity with the environment, you should obtain EPR certificate, means in technical terms is this:
In order to manufacture any product that is composed of electronic circuitry, you need to also have a way to dispose of it safely once it becomes useless.
Through an EPR certificate, the government holds you to your word. The act of EPR was introduced in India back in 2012. It was the time when we finally realized that the amount of plastic that has been filling the landfills is a tad bit dangerous for everyone around. By making EPR registration mandatory, the goal of the government is to compel the electronic manufacturers to adopt practices of sustainable development.
