Product for EPRA for E-Waste

Yes, Low pressure sodium lamps (LPS) are covered under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme in India. This means that manufacturers and importers of LPS are required to obtain EPR authorization from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). EPR authorization is a legal requirement and failure to comply can result in fines or other penalties.

To obtain EPR authorization, manufacturers and importers of LPS must submit an application to the BIS. The application must include information on the following:

• The name and address of the manufacturer or importer
• The type and quantity of LPS that will be manufactured or imported
• The name and address of the collection and recycling facility that will be used to manage the e-waste

The BIS will review the application and may require additional information or documentation. If the application is approved, the BIS will issue an EPR authorization certificate.

The EPR authorization certificate must be displayed on all LPS that are sold in India. This helps consumers to identify products that are covered by the EPR scheme and that have been manufactured or imported by a responsible company.

The EPR scheme is an important step in reducing the amount of electronic waste in India. By requiring manufacturers and importers to take responsibility for the collection and recycling of their products, the EPR scheme helps to protect the environment and public health.

Here are some of the benefits of EPR:

• It reduces the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators.
• It protects the environment and public health by preventing the release of harmful substances into the environment.
• It creates jobs in the collection and recycling of electronic waste.
• It encourages manufacturers to design products that are easier to recycle.
