If you’re an electronics or electric product manufacturer, you have the ethical responsibility to deal with the electronic wastes generated in your factories. To give you that responsibility on a mandatory basis, the Central Pollution Control Board issues the EPR License.
Also known as the E waste management license, the EPR License is bestowed on not just the electrical and electronic manufacturers, but also e waste management companies. As per the regulations, in order to retain a electronics manufacturing business, the company has to:
-
Dispose of electronic waste that it generates
-
Provide recycling services for the electronic wastes, and
-
Work towards the betterment of the environment
But all that comes after you get the EPR License. So, through this article, you’ll know how to get EPR registration certificate in India.
