India CPCB Calls on Companies to Register on Common EPR Portal for Plastic Waste Management

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has issued a directive requiring companies covered under the Plastic Waste Management Rules to register on the Common EPR Portal. This registration requirement is part of India's extended producer responsibility framework for plastic waste management, ensuring that producers, importers, and brand owners comply with their obligations to manage the end-of-life treatment of plastic products they introduce to the market. The Common EPR Portal serves as a centralized platform for tracking producer responsibility compliance, collection targets, and recycling obligations.
