CPCB EPR Credits

EPR Credit Model is prescribed in the waste management rules and implemented by the Central Pollution Control Board for the producers to fulfil EPR obligations with flexibility. It allows producers to exchange EPR Certificates with other producers if their EPR liabilities are fulfilled already. In this system, the waste doesn't need to be collected by the exact producer who produced it. During its lifetime, a product travels through regions, and it’s not practical for it to be collected and disposed of by the same producer who produced it. It gets collected by someone else and recycled, but its producer also needs to fulfil his EPR obligation. EPR Credit Model facilitates this distribution of EPR obligations among the producers, where one can sell his EPR Credit earned by recycling a product to another producer.

The Central Pollution Control Board is usually abbreviated as CPCB. It provides EPR Authorization for producers and recyclers. It also manages and audits the EPR Liabilities of all kinds of waste producers. An EPR Portal is managed by CPCB to track the recycling target of these producers and the amount of waste recycled by the recyclers. These recyclers and producers whenever make a transaction, and it reflects in their account on the online EPR Portal. The CPCB audits all these transactions and ensures the correct logging of EPR Obligation fulfilment.

EPR Credits are earned and then traded separately for each kind of waste. These various types of waste are as follows managed by their respective Waste Management Rules-

Involved Stakeholders in EPR Credit Management

There are various obligated entities for each kind of waste that has to follow the provisions of waste management rules and regulations. These stakeholders are those business entities that produce, distribute or process various types of notified waste. They need to get the EPR registration before they start producing or processing any Plastic Waste, E-Waste, Battery Waste or Tyre Waste. These obligated entities are as follows-

Producers

This term is broad, and various business entities get covered under the purview of producers, including manufacturers, importers and brand owners. These entities need to do registration and get EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board.

Manufacturer

Some entities are involved in the manufacturing of products from raw materials. At the end of a product's life, they end up being a notified waste for which the EPR Obligation needs to be fulfilled.

Importers

Importers are those business entities that import either the product for which the EPR rules are prescribed or the products which are wrapped in plastic packaging or sheets for which the plastic waste management rules are applicable.

Brand Owners

Brand Owners are the businesses that distribute and sell commodities under their brand name. The products may be manufactured by them or maybe outsourced from other manufacturers, but if they contain any waste notified in the waste management rules, then they need to fulfil the EPR liabilities.

EPR Credits provide various benefits for the stakeholders fulfilling their EPR obligation under the waste management laws. These benefits are as follows-

• As the producers and recyclers actively engage in waste management exercises, it protects the environment from various kinds of harmful waste by ensuring their environmentally safe and sound disposal.
• Recycling Rates are increased for various waste types as the producers recycle plastic waste, e-waste, battery waste and tyre waste for their EPR liabilities, and the recyclers assist these producers by selling EPR Credits for various types of waste.
• When waste is recycled in an environmentally safe and sound manner, it does not end up in landfills. It helps to minimise the environmental and health risks associated with unfair practices of waste disposal.
• Resources are saved by recycling waste and reusing the end products in various industries as per suitability. Costs for production also go down by using recycled raw materials.
• The benefits of recycling different types of waste also encourage the establishment of new recycling facilities, which creates jobs in the recycling industry.
• Regulatory compliance for waste management also triggers innovation in the manufacturing industry as the producers try to minimise the use of harmful raw materials in their products.

EPR Credit Model enables producers to share their EPR obligations in the form of EPR Certificates. Once the liability of a producer is fulfilled, he starts earning EPR Credits for the waste he recycles. This EPR Credit is recorded on their EPR Portal separately for each kind of waste. From this accumulated EPR Credit, they can either use it for their next year’s liability or sell it to other producers. The producers purchase these EPR Credits from the recyclers and other producers to fulfil their EPR Obligation for the last financial year.

EPR Credit can be sold to other producers, importers and brand owners. These EPR Credits can also be carried forward to next year to adjust against the EPR Obligation of next year. The only condition is that EPR Credit for one category can only be adjusted against the same category. For example, if you are dealing in plastic waste, then EPR Credit earned for Category I can only be adjusted against the same category and not for the EPR Liability pending in Category II.
