Virogreen e-Waste Authorization Plan in India

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) makes it obligatory for every producer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) for channelization of e-waste to an authorized dismantler or recycler to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste. EPR authorization is mandatory to be obtained by all the producers including importers, e-retailers, on-line sellers, e-bay etc. of EEE covered in E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016.



EPR provides the required funding for the safe and careful management of the products at their end-of-life so that they can be stayed away from our land fills and waterways. The same hazardous or discarded materials can also be reused or recycled, thereby safeguarding our natural resources.

A producer can implement its EPR either by take-back system or by setting up collection centers or both for channelization of e-waste/end of life products to authorized dismantlers or recyclers. The producers have to have arrangements with e-waste authorization dismantlers or recyclers either individually or collectively or through a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) as directed under their EPR Plan which is approved or authorized by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

The EPR Plan under the protocol of EPR Authorization outlines the compressive estimation of the e-waste generation by the company and target projection for achieving the e-waste sanitization under a stipulated period through proper mechanisms.

Importers, manufactures and producers, even the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of electrical and electronic equipments can contact Virogreen for complete takeover of operations as required under EPR protocol.
We provide complete solutions to our enterprise level clients starting from the planning, implementation, and target achievement of EPR to filling of the return of compliance with the regulatory authority.
