PRO Service for EPR
Recycling Service for EPR Implementation
Hind Recycling offers specialized services to Producers to comply their obligation towards the Producer’s electronic waste collection as laid down under the Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) guidelines defined in the E-waste Management & Handling Rules, 2016. Even today, majority of the e-waste generated in India end up in the informal sector. And, the target set for Producer’s under the EPR Rules cannot be achieved without channelizing the e-Waste from the un-organized sector.
Hind Recycling under its EPR helpline for its Producer Clients, constantly taps the informal sector to bridge the gap between the in-formal recycling to formal recycling.
What is EPR?
Producer Responsibility (EPR) means responsibility of any producer of electrical or electronic equipment, for channelization of e-waste to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste. Extended Producer Responsibility may comprise of implementing take back system or setting up of collection centre’s or both and having agreed arrangements with authorized dismantler or recycler either individually or collectively through a Producer Responsibility Organization recognized by producer or producers.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) means the responsibility and obligation of each Producer of electrical or electronic equipments to ensure that e-waste is recycled in an environmentally sound manner. This is essentially documented and explained in the EPR Plan of each Producer.
What is an EPR plan?
The EPR Plan for each Producer is an implementation plan that they need to document and adhere to. Such a Plan covers the overall scheme and arrangement that the Producer would implement to fulfill its obligation under the Extended Producer Responsibility.
Under the EPR Plan, the Producer estimates that quantity of e-Waste generated from their end-of-life / end-of-support products and gives out the details of how the Producer would implement the collection and channelization of the e-waste to authorized e-waste dismantlers / recyclers. The EPR Plan also needs to explain the estimated budget which the Producer has set aside for this Green initiative and how the budget would be consumed.
