The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has published detailed guidelines addressing the collection, recycling, transport, and storage of waste batteries. These guidelines establish the operational and technical requirements that producers, recyclers, and waste management operators must follow when handling battery waste. The guidelines are part of India's extended producer responsibility regime for batteries, defining collection targets, recycling standards, and safe handling procedures. Producers and importers of batteries are required to ensure compliance with these guidelines through their EPR obligations, including financing collection and recycling infrastructure.
