 INTRODUCTION

 The term EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility.

 EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBLITIES are the responsibility of

recovering, recycling, reusing, and proper plastic waste disposal stands extended
to those who produce and release it into the markets. So it includes brands, goods
producers, importers and packaging companies, etc.

 EPR relates to a product’s complete lifecycle and holds the producer or brand
answerable for the correct and environmentally supportive management of the
products they produce. It starts from the time the product is conceived and
manufactured till its end of life – which means when the end-user has finished
using the product.
 How does EPR work?

 To smooth out the appropriate and ideal assortment of waste, reuse,

and right removal, the Public authority has supported squander
assortment offices, reusing associations, or recyclers. They will play
out these obligations for your sake and charge you an expense. Such
organizations are called Experts or Maker Obligation Associations.

 Once finished, they will grant you a fruition endorsement that

expresses the specific amount of plastic waste your organization has
reused. Presently, squander reusing targets have been set at 30% and
may increment throughout the next few years.
 Say, for example, your company produces about 100 kg of plastic in a year. Now,
under EPR, the responsibility lies on you to collect and recycle at least30% of
this plastic material, which comes to 30 kg.
 Similarly, if you have sold, say 10 kg worth of plastic to your customer, they
must also recycle 30% that is 3 kg (to fulfil their responsibility). On completion,
they will give you a certificate which means, now you have to recycle only 27 kg
since 3 kg has already been done on your behalf.
 Hence, in this way, ERP creates a consistent and ongoing cycle of responsible
waste management. It ensures that whoever produces plastic also recycles it, and
plastic material gets recycled throughoutthe supply chain.
 It will slowly reduce the plastic waste management problem that is growing
daily.
 MOTIVE

 In light of the developing issue of extreme waste, a few nations took on waste
management strategies in which makers are liable for reclaiming their items from
end clients toward the finish of the items' helpful life, or to some degree supporting
an assortment and reusing foundation.
 These arrangements were embraced because of the absence of assortment framework
for specific items that contain hazardous materials, or because of the significant
expenses to nearby legislatures of giving such assortment administrations.
 The primary objectives of these reclaim laws thusly are to join forces with the
confidential area to guarantee that everything waste is overseen in a manner that
safeguards general health and the environment. The objectives of reclaim laws are to
urge companies to plan items for reuse, recyclability, and materials decrease; right
market signs to the shopper by integrating waste management costs into item cost;
promote innovation in reusing technology.
 Advantages

 At the point when producers face either the monetary or actual weight of reusing
their hardware after use, they might be boosted to plan more maintainable, not so
much harmful, but rather more effectively recyclable gadgets

 Utilizing less materials and planning items to endure longer can straightforwardly
decrease producers' finish of-life costs.

 Putting liability on producers to discard their items can give state run
administrations more opportunity to make regulation which benefits
maintainability with little expense for the two players, while likewise bringing
issues to light about the issues EPR tries to settle
 The extended producer responsibility is often cited as one way to fight planned obsolescence,
because it financially encourages manufacturers to design for recycling and make products last
longer
 One of the benefits for EPR is that it turns out to be increasingly more successful as the EPR
strategy comes down on nations that trade their waste. The guideline of this waste powers
foundation to manage the waste or carry out better approaches for making items from the
producers.
 Extender producer responsibility (EPR) is a rule passed by the Govt. of India to ensure brands
take responsibility for their post-consumer use of packaging waste. EPR benefits for your brand
far outweigh the challenges in its implementation.
 It enables the creation of a circular economy which is created by channelizing plastic and waste
and ensuring a proper waste management system is established
 Disadvantages

 Certain individuals have worries about extended producer responsibility programs

for complex waste that can be challenging to securely reuse, like lithium-particle
polymer batteries. Others stress that such laws could expand the expense of
products since producers would add reusing costs into the underlying sticker
price.

 At the point when companies are expected to ship their items to a reusing office, it
tends to be costly in the event that the item contains hazardous materials and
doesn't have a piece esteem, for example, with CRT TVs, which can contain as
much as five pounds of lead. Associations and analysts against EPR guarantee that
the command would slow innovation and hinder mechanical advancement.
 Different pundits are worried that producers might utilize takeback projects to take handed down
gadgets off the reuse market, by destroying as opposed to reusing or fixing merchandise that
come in for reusing.

 One more contention against EPR is that EPR approaches are not speeding up environmentally-
accommodating plans since "producers are now beginning to advancing toward diminished
material-use per unit of result, decreased energy use in making and conveying every item, and
worked on environmental execution.

 The Explanation Establishment contends that EPR isn't clear in the manner charges are laid out
for the specific reusing processes. Expenses are set up to help boost reusing, however this might
dissuade the utilization of assembling with better materials for the different electronic items.
There are not set expenses for specific materials, so disarray happens when companies don't have
the foggiest idea what configuration highlights to remember for their items.
The Role of National Authority in EPR

 The National Authority holds the reigns in controlling its execution the nation
over. The National Authority is an umbrella word for Policymakers, Government
organizations like CPCB, SPCB, ULBs, and PCC who manage the execution and
observing of the EPR system. In a country as huge as India, where there are many
kinds of waste created, moving the responsibility to the Producers is significant.
 The Role of Consumers in EPR

 Consumers are key stakeholders in the EPR system. They drive the whole cycle in
view of their choices. Our decisions decide the utilization and at last the removal
of an item.
 The critical obligation of a purchaser is to get a social meaningfully impact how
items are bought, utilized, and discarded after utilization. The activities
straightforwardly affect making a Circular Economy. In this way, making an
economical future that utilizes ideal assets and diminishes monetary pressure.
 The Role of PRO’s in EPR

 PROs link PIBOs, recyclers, and aggregators, by enabling PIBOs to fulfil their
EPR targets.
 Implementation of EPR is challenging for many PIBOs due to their pan-India
presence. Setting up a waste challenging mechanism is not an easy feat to achieve.
That is when PROs come into the picture. With on-field expertise, PROs establish
waste channels around the country in order to help them achieve their targets.
 The Role of PIBO’s in EPR

 Brands are a significant player in the waste environment

 EPR is a vital shift from a purchaser driven to an item driven approach in tending
to the existence pattern of an item. Thus, it empowers PIBOs to actually deal with
their waste and promote the reusing society in India. The premier obligation is to
lay out a roundabout economy for the waste being created by their items
The Role of Informal Sector in EPR

 The EPR execution in the Indian setting is contrastingly unique, it is on the

grounds that the casual area assumes a very pivotal part in overseeing plastic and
waste in the country. The casual area is satisfying its responsibility of executing
waste through the right channels. The other stakeholders must help this area.
 The Role of Recyclers in EPR

 A recycler is the last stakeholder among the stakeholders involved in EPR. The
responsibilities of a recycler hold a great deal of importance. Recyclers and co-
processors are the endpoints where the recycling and processing of plastic and e-
waste happens.
 EPR for FMCG

 Fast forward to 2021, and the National Green Tribunal has ordered the Union
Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) to frame
guidelines for EPR. This is in response to the increasing public and international
pressure to reduce plastic pollution and for resolving the crisis of waste
management. Due to increased spotlight on plastic pollution, a lot of large Fast
Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies are announcing plastic waste
reduction targets.
 The real test for any EPR is post-consumer plastic waste. Some plastic waste
streams like PET bottles, HDPE (water drain pipes, plastic jugs and jerry cans,
chairs and tables) have functional and diverse recycling value chains. They do not
pose a major challenge. It is the plastic material which brings in zero value, i.e.
non-recyclable multi-layered plastic packaging of chips and other edibles, as well
as packaging used in shampoo and toiletries, which is the biggest cause of
concern.
 Most FMCG companies are not themselves in the business of plastic waste
recycling and disposal. Considering the large commitments that will be required
and the scale of operations, it will be very difficult for them to get into the
recycling business. They will be dependent on 'external agencies' to provide them
this support. For this, there is no better ally than waste pickers' organisations and
informal waste recycling businesses, which already have the necessary expertise
 Individually, several large FMCG players like ITC, PepsiCo, Reckitt Benckiser
(RB), Nestle and Dabur, among others, have set the ball rolling.
 Like Nestle India has reduced the use of plastic by 1,500 tonnes last year, apart
from installing Gasolyser in its plant that converts plastic into fuel.
 ITC Ltd has said that over 99 per cent of solid waste generated in
ITC’s factories is recycled. Over the next decade, the company is planning to
make 100 per cent of its product packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable.
 Reckitt Benckiser will ensure that by 2025 at least 25 per cent of its content is
recycled plastic and 100 per cent of plastic packaging is recyclable or reusable.
 CONCLUSION

 , Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged reducing the country’s carbon

emission by one billion tonnes by 2030, reducing the carbon intensity of the
economy by less than 45% by the end of the decade and achieving net-zero
carbon emissions by 2070.
 The entities covered under the EPR obligations and provisions of the newly issued
guidelines include plastic packaging producers, importers, brand owners, online
platforms and marketplaces and supermarkets and retail chains other than those,
which are micro and small enterprises as per the criteria set out by MSME
ministry
