Embedded Files
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is India's plastic waste management framework that holds producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) accountable for the post-consumer life of the packaging they sell. Under the Plastic Waste Management Rules and CPCB's EPR guidelines, every PIBO must register on the Common EPR Portal and hit annual recycling, reuse, and recycled-content targets across all plastic packaging categories. Dump In Bin is a CPCB-aligned EPR compliance partner that connects brand owners, recyclers, and end-of-life (EOL) processors on one verified, audit-ready platform - turning a regulatory obligation into transparent, traceable environmental impact.

Understanding EPR Plastic Packaging Classifications
India's Plastic Waste Management Rules (as amended, 2026) classify plastic packaging into four EPR categories. Each category carries its own CPCB recycled-content and processing targets - here's how Dump In Bin supports compliance for every type.
Category I - Rigid Plastic Packaging
PET bottles, HDPE containers, and plastic drums. Highest recyclability; CPCB mandates 30% recycled content for 2025-26, rising to 60% by 2028-29.
Category II - Flexible Plastic Packaging
Single and multi-layer flexible plastic: pouches, wrappers, and carry bags. CPCB recycled-content target: 10% (2025-26), rising to 20%.
Category III - Multi-Layered Packaging (MLP)
Snack wrappers and pouches combining plastic with other materials. Hardest to recycle; CPCB target: 5% recycled content (2025-26), rising to 10%.
Category IV - Compostable Plastic Packaging
Certified compostable packaging processed through industrial composting rather than mechanical recycling, per CPCB's compostable-plastics standards.
Other Waste Streams Covered Under India's EPR Framework
Beyond plastic packaging, CPCB administers separate EPR regimes for e-waste, batteries, waste tyres, used oil, end-of-life vehicles, and non-ferrous metal scrap. Dump In Bin channels each waste stream through registered recyclers, refurbishers, and processors to keep every stakeholder audit-ready.
E-Waste (Electronic & Electrical Equipment)
Covers 106 Schedule I items under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, including solar panels. CPCB recycling target: 70% of estimated generation for FY 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Battery Waste (All Chemistries)
Portable, automotive, industrial, and EV batteries under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. Producers carry collection and recycling duties plus recycled-content obligations for new batteries.
Waste Tyres
New and imported tyres regulated under the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules (2022 amendment). EPR obligation: 100% of tyres placed on market in year Y-1, processed through registered recyclers and retreaders.
Used & Waste Oil
Base and lubricating oil under the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules (2023 amendment), effective April 2024. CPCB recycling target rises from 5% (2024-25) to 20% by 2027-28 via registered re-refiners.
End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs)
Vehicles reaching end-of-life under the Environment Protection (End-of-Life Vehicles) Rules, 2025, effective April 2025. Producers and importers channel scrappage through Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities.
Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap
Aluminium, copper, and zinc products under India's newest EPR regime, in force from 1 April 2026, with recycled-content duties on manufacturers and take-back obligations on bulk consumers.
Frequently Asked Questions: Buying EPR Credits & Compliance Services in India
Quick answers to what brands, recyclers, and importers most often search for when looking for EPR credits, certificates, and registration support.
How do I buy EPR credits or certificates in India?
Dump In Bin connects brand owners and importers with CPCB-registered recyclers to source verified EPR certificates for plastic packaging, e-waste, batteries, tyres, used oil, end-of-life vehicles, and metal scrap, all trackable on the Common EPR Portal.
How much does an EPR certificate cost?
Pricing depends on waste category, quantity, processing route, and compliance year. Plastic, e-waste, and battery certificates are typically priced per tonne of verified recycling, reuse, or refurbishing capacity.
Who offers EPR registration and compliance services near me?
Dump In Bin provides end-to-end EPR registration, annual return filing, and audit-ready documentation for brand owners, producers, recyclers, and importers across India, regardless of location.
What documents are required for CPCB EPR registration?
Applicants typically need GST and business registration proof, product or packaging details, waste category classification, and prior-year sales or import data to complete registration on the Common EPR Portal.
Is trading EPR credits and certificates legal in India?
Yes. EPR certificate trading is authorised and tracked through CPCB's Common EPR Portal, provided both buyer and seller are registered stakeholders and the certificate is retired against a specific obligation year.
How can I find verified recyclers or EPR partners near me?
Dump In Bin's partner network spans registered recyclers, refurbishers, and processors across plastic, e-waste, battery, tyre, oil, ELV, and metal scrap streams, making it easy to find a compliant partner in your region.
