EPR for Non-Ferrous Metals

Take advantage of the experiential-learning opportunities built into many programs.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Non-Ferrous Metals

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for non-ferrous metals ensures that manufacturers, importers, and other stakeholders manage end-of-life products in an environmentally responsible manner. Under this framework, producers must obtain an EPR Authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) by submitting the prescribed application form.

To make the process efficient, the Non-Ferrous Metals Registration System provides an online portal for registration, submission, and approval of EPR authorizations. The system integrates all participants — producers, Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), dismantlers, recyclers, refurbishers, transporters, and collection centers — ensuring traceability and accountability in waste management.
