EPR authorization is required for equipment for spraying, spreading, dispersing or other treatment of liquid or gaseous substance by other means. This is because this equipment are considered to be electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and are therefore subject to the EPR regulations in India.
The EPR regulations require manufacturers and importers of EEE to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products, even after they have been sold. This includes the collection and recycling of end-of-life products, as well as the management of any hazardous materials that may be contained in the products.
In order to comply with the EPR regulations, manufacturers and importers of equipment for spraying, spreading, dispersing or other treatment of liquid or gaseous substance by other means must obtain EPR authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). EPR authorization can be obtained by submitting a number of documents to the CPCB, including:
Once EPR authorization has been obtained, manufacturers and importers are required to collect and recycle a certain percentage of end-of-life products. The percentage of products that must be collected and recycled varies depending on the type of product.
The EPR regulations are an important environmental policy that helps to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills. It also helps to protect human health by preventing the release of hazardous materials into the environment.
