Overview of EPR Fulfillment in E-Waste Management
EPR Fulfillment is a crucial compliance activity under the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022. Producers and brand owners are assigned annual waste collection and recycling targets by CPCB, which must be met through authorized recyclers or dismantlers. By fulfilling these targets, companies ensure that the electronic waste from their products is safely processed, reducing landfill burden and environmental pollution.
