Plastic Waste Management Consultant & EPR Compliance Services in Gujarat

Plastic manufacturers, importers, brand owners (PIBO), and recyclers/waste processors together form the core stakeholders under India’s Plastic Waste Management and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, each with defined compliance responsibilities. Plastic manufacturers are involved in producing raw materials, packaging products, and plastic components, and must obtain registrations from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or State Pollution Control Boards, maintain production records, follow standards related to thickness, labeling, and recycled content, and ensure safe handling of manufacturing waste. Importers bringing plastic raw materials or packaged goods into India must secure EPR registration, declare quantities and categories of plastic, ensure equivalent waste collection and recycling, maintain documentation, and submit annual compliance reports while coordinating with authorized recyclers. Brand owners, including FMCG, pharmaceutical, food, and e-commerce companies, are responsible for managing plastic waste generated from their packaging, meeting annual EPR targets, adopting sustainable packaging practices, maintaining traceability records, and establishing systems for collection, recycling, reuse, or disposal through authorized channels. Recyclers and waste processors play a critical role by collecting, recycling, co-processing, and safely disposing of plastic waste; they must operate authorized facilities, maintain processing records, generate recycling certificates and EPR credits, and support producers, importers, and brand owners in achieving regulatory compliance, thereby ensuring an integrated and environmentally responsible plastic waste management ecosystem.
