EPR credits for Plastic Waste Recyclers
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) for Plastic Waste Recyclers provide an opportunity to the certified recycler, manufacturers and authorized brand owners, importers and PIBOs to fulfill their plastic waste management targets by acquiring credits in the electronic market. The Plastic Waste Management Rules of India have certain specific rules for PIBOs, where they are accountable for collecting and recycling the plastics in their organization. After processing scraps, recyclers can create EPR credits and offer the credits to PIBOs who cannot achieve the goals themselves. This system promotes the recycling systems, incorporates the formal works of waste management and offers a certain cash revenue for the recycling entities. The PCB is maintained under the supervision of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to check the pollution control measures and provide the status of the same to the public. EPR credits play a crucial role in enhancing goals of structuring the recycling market as well has encouraging adequate sustainable plastic waste handling and disposal.
Who are Plastic Recyclers?
Plastic recyclers are organizations engaged in the processing of various types of collected plastic waste. This waste may be sourced directly from producers or obtained through third-party channels. To meet their annual Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets, producers gather plastic waste and transfer it to recycling facilities. Subsequently, these recyclers process the waste and issue an EPR Certificate, confirming the successful recycling of the materials supplied by the producers.
