Overview of EPR Target Fulfilment
Under the EPR framework, producers and importers are assigned annual waste management targets based on the quantity of products they place in the market. These targets must be fulfilled by ensuring proper collection, channelization, and recycling of waste through authorized entities. EPR Target Fulfilment is monitored through CPCB’s online EPR portal, where entities must upload proof of recycling certificates, invoices, and recycler details. It ensures transparency, accountability, and sustainable management of post-consumer waste.
