The EPR Authority of India issues the EPR Certificate for recycling centres as a necessity for exporting electronics and electrical equipment. The products are first disposed of, and then recycled responsibly to authorized recyclers and ensure their safe return.
EPR certificate works to lessen pollution caused by used electronic devices and consumer electronics and also encourages manufacturers to use environmentally friendly materials.
The aim is to cover manufacturing, distributor, and user costs for managing hazardous e-waste. This will help them minimize their environmental impact and ensure environmentally sound disposal of the electronic waste products.
