EPR Plastic Waste Annual Compliance
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) Plastic Waste Annual Compliance is a program aimed at ensuring that, by a requisite producer, engage in the management and disposal of the plastics waste that accrue from their products. In this system, the companies have made an annual goal to collect, recycle and process the plastic waste for eradicating pollution in the environment. It requires “disclosure of the amount of pet plastic in the market, assurance of ‘proper’ disposal of the plastic wastes and sponsorship of waste management initiatives.” On its own, the increased thinking is intended to encourage readier reception of the concept of waste management and to subvert the interactions of the municipalities with the unwanted plastic waste to extend it to the producers. These laws attract penalties, and restriction in the operations of business ventures whenever and wherever regulations are violated.
Various standards are involved in the implementation of the laws regulating plastic wastes depending on the source of wastes. The SPCB and the PCC have the legal right in the certification of manufacturers, processing and disposal of plastic waste from States and Union Territories. The Secretary in charge of Urban Development is held responsible for the disposal of wastes from plastic carry bags, sheets and multiple layer packaging in the urban zones. In the rural territories the responsibility of waste management is in the hands of Gram Panchayats; the authorities can apply to the District Magistrate/Deputy Commissioner for help if necessary. The SPCB and the PCC are to prepare Extended Producer Responsibility compliance report to the CPCB and the State Monitoring Committee there is a compliance report for the recyclers in addition to the end of life disposal and required to submit such report by 31st July of the succeeding financial year.
