1. PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT (PWM ) & EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (EPR) GUIDELINES CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD DELHI

2. Plastic Waste Management Rules came into being in 2016 and subsequently seven amendments have been notified by MoEF&CC . Major amendments are : Amendment related to EPR in 2018 ( First amendment) Producer mandated to manage plastic waste till end of its life Amendment related to Single Use Plastics in August 2021 (Third amendment) Single Use Plastic ban to be implemented in a phased manner from July 01, 2022 Amendment related to Guidelines for Extended Producer Responsibility for Plastic packaging ( schedule-II of PWM Rule) in February, 2023 ( Fourth Amendment) BACKGROUND

3. Responsibility of producers, Importers and Brand Owners As per provision 9(1) of PWM Rules, 2016 (as amended) “The Producers, Importers and Brand Owners shall fulfil Extended Producers Responsibility for Plastic Packaging as per guidelines specified in Schedule –II” Registration of producer, recyclers and manufacturer As per provisions of 13(1) of PWM Rules, 2016 ( as amended) “No person shall manufacture carry bags or recycle plastic bags or multilayered packaging unless the person has obtained registration from,- ( i ) the concerned State Pollution Control Board or Pollution Control Committee of the Union territory, if operating in one or two states or Union territories; or (ii) the Central Pollution Control Board, if operating in more than two States or Union territories. As per provisions of 10(1) of PWM Rules, 2016 ( as amended) “ The Producers, Importers, Brand-Owners and manufacturers, and manufacturers of commodities made from compostable plastic or biodegradable plastic shall have to register through the online centralized portal ” As per provisions of 13(2) “Every person recycling or processing waste or proposing to recycle or process plastic waste shall make an application State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee in Form II through Centralized online portal specified in Schedule -II PROVISIONS OF PWM RULES

4. Plastic Packaging means packaging material made by using plastics for protecting, preserving, storing and transporting of products in a variety of ways Manufacturer - means and includes a person engaged in production of plastic raw material, including compostable plastics and biodegradable plastics Brand Owner - means a person or company who sells any commodity under a registered brand label or trade mark. Producer- means a person engaged in manufacturing of plastic packaging; and, includes a person engaged in manufacture of intermediate material to be used for manufacturing plastic packaging, and also the person engaged in contract manufacturing of products using plastic packaging or through other similar arrangements for a brand Owners. Seller - means a person who sells plastic raw material such as resins or pellets or intermediate material used for producing plastic packaging Importer - means a person who imports for commercial use, any plastic packaging or any commodity with plastic packaging or carry bags or plastic sheets or like material, or plastic raw material including in the form of resin or pellets, or intermediate material to be used for manufacturing plastic packaging such as films or preforms; Plastic Waste Processors- means recyclers and entities engaged in using plastic waste for energy (waste to energy), and converting it to oil (waste to oil), industrial composting. Recycling - means the process of transforming segregated plastic waste into a new product or raw material for producing new products; End of Life disposal - means using plastic waste for generation of energy and includes co-processing (e.g. in cement kilns) or waste to oil or for road construction as per Indian Road Congress guidelines, etc ; Waste to Energy - means using plastic waste for generation of energy and includes co-processing (e.g. in cement kilns). KEY DEFINATIONS

5. Pre-consumer plastic packaging waste- means plastic packaging waste generated in the form of reject or discard at the stage of manufacturing of plastic packaging and plastic packaging waste generated during the packaging of product including reject, discard, before the plastic packaging reaches the end-use consumer of the product. Post-consumer plastic packaging waste- means plastic packaging waste generated by the end-use consumer after the intended use of packaging is completed and is no longer being used for its intended purpose. KEY DEFINATIONS

6. EPR Guidelines for plastic packaging dated February 16, 2022 in schedule -II of Plastic Waste Management Notified by MoEF&CC . Registration of PIBOs, PWPs, Manufacturers and importers of plastic raw material, & Manufacturers of items made from compostable plastics or biodegradable plastics Five categories of plastic packaging (rigid, flexible, multi-layered, compostable and biodegradable) EPR Target of PIBOs and Manufacturers based on Categorywise Plastic Packaging sold Obligations for Reuse, Recycle, Use of Recycle content and End disposal EPR Certificates to be generated by Plastic Waste Processors(PWPs ) and ULBs EPR Target fulfilment through EPR Certificates Third Party Audit for ensuring compliance Environmental Compensation for non-compliance Key stakeholders : CPCB,SPCBs/PCCs, ULBs, Producers, Importers, Brand Owners, Manufacturers and Plastic Waste Processors (PWPs ) Centralized EPR Portal developed by CPCB (eprplastic.cpcb.gov.in) EPR GUIDELINES FOR PLASTIC PACKAGING

7. TYPES of plastics covered under EPR for plastic packaging

8. End Disposal Source PIBOs Sell Use Reuse Use of Recycled content Recycle Reuse : using an object or resource material again for either the same purpose Recycling; transforming segregated plastic waste into a new product or raw material for producing new products Use of recycled plastic content; recycled plastic, instead of virgin plastic End of life disposal- plastic waste for generation of energy EPR OBLIGATIONS

9. Year Extended Producer Responsibility Target 2021-22 25% 2022-23 70% 2023-24 100% The guidelines lay down targets for Extended Producer Responsibility for plastic waste that needs to be fulfilled by the Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners . Target ( ( in MT)) = (A + B) – C A : average weight of plastic packaging material (category-wise) sold in the last two financial years (A) B: average quantity of pre-consumer plastic packaging waste in the last two financial years C: A nnual quantity supplied to in the registered PIBOs in previous financial year Note : C is not applicable for Brand Owner EPR TARGET

10. Obligation for minimum level of recycling, use of recycled content and Reuse that needs to be ensured by them EPR TARGET M anufacturer or importer of plastic raw material

11. Fulfilment of Extended Producer Responsibility Obligations: The Producers, Importers & Brand-Owners shall have to provide the details of recycling certificate only from registered recyclers along with the details of quantity sent for end of life disposal, by 30th June of next financial year while filing annual returns on the online portal Environmental Compensation: Environmental compensation will be levied based upon polluter pays principle, with respect to non-fulfilment of EPR targets by producers, importers and brand owners, for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and preventing, controlling and abating environment pollution. Salient features of EPR Guidelines

12. EPR IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM PIBOs PWPs Centralized EPR Portal Registration through CPCB/SPCB/PCC Recycled Plastic Revenue ( EPR Certificates + Recycled Products) EPR Certificates Transfer EPR Certificates generation Plastic Packaging, Collection, & Segregation Sold Plastic Packaging Segregated Plastic Packaging Waste

13. KEY MODULES FOR EPR PORTAL Key Modules of EPR Portal

14. Registration of PIBOs and PWPs Facilitates Error free filing & fast processing of Application Dynamic fixing of Annual EPR Target as per EPR Guidelines Real time Capture of Procurement /Sales of Plastic Packaging & Target Setting Cross-validation of Transactions between PIBOs/PWPs GIS based mapping of PWPs Generation and transfer of EPR certificate Physical verification by SPCB/PCC Inbuilt Checks & Balances Transparent mechanism Central Repository of EPR Data for monitoring KEY FEATURES CENTRALIZED EPR PORTAL EPR Portal launched in April 2022 & fully functional since January 2023
