Plastic Waste EPR Registration (PWM) and Audit
Avoid CPCB fines. We help PIBOs (Importers & Brand Owners) register on the Central Portal, map Category I-IV plastics, and file Form-I & Form-VI Annual Returns.
What we do
We offer EPR solutions to help brands fulfill their recycling mandates and achieve their sustainability goals.
India’s plastic industry has witnessed a rapid increase, both in production and in everyday use. But without proper systems for plastic waste management, it resulted in polluting the environment. To address severe environmental and health impacts, the government introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for plastics. Under the Plastic Waste Management Rules of 2016, producers are required to take active steps to reduce the amount of plastic they generate. They also need to meet EPR compliance by ensuring that a specific portion of the plastic they put into the market is properly collected and disposed of or recycled.
At Eco Sure Compliance, we offer transparent, flexible, and reliable EPR consultancy services dedicated to recycling plastic and preventing it from ending up in landfills. Our expertise, timely delivery, and monetary stability enhanced our market position and market credibility. We develop strategies to meet your recycling and recovery obligations. Partner with us in streamlining the EPR process and take proactive measures to protect the environment.
