About the EPR
Extended Producer Responsibility is an environmental protection strategy to reach an environmental objective of a decreased total environmental impact from a product, by making the manufacturer of the product responsible for the entire life cycle of the product and especially for the take-back, recycling, and final disposal of the product.
What is changing with EPR?
Extended Producer Responsibility is an environmental policy which has been recently introduced in India. EPR requires a producer to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle for the products that they put into the market, including their disposal.
