Producers, Importers and Brand Owners (PIBOs) placing plastic packaging in the Indian market must register on the CPCB EPR portal and meet annual recycling, reuse and end-of-life targets.

EPR certificates are traded on the CPCB portal, and shortfalls attract environmental compensation calculated per category and per tonne of unmet obligation.

2026 has seen tighter scrutiny of certificate authenticity and stricter category-wise (rigid, flexible, multi-layered) target segregation.

Our environmental law and EPR advisory desk manages end-to-end registration, target computation, certificate procurement and annual return filing for manufacturers across India.
