Why choose Diligence Certification For Plastic Waste Management

Plastic Waste management

Plastic Waste Compliance is a mandatory requirement under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (amended in 2022), ensuring that producers, importers, brand owners, and plastic waste processors take responsibility for the collection, recycling, and environmentally safe disposal of plastic. It is primarily driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which makes businesses accountable for the end-to-end lifecycle of plastic packaging. Compliance not only prevents environmental damage but also protects companies from legal penalties and enhances their brand reputation by aligning with sustainability goals.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) practices that today, whereby the EPR clearly states that the manufacturer has full responsibility for the complete lifecycle of his plastic products till they get to waste management when they are consumed by the end-user. Certification compliance would assure that a producer operates within the parameters of EPR settings involving recycling initiatives, achieving targets, and better waste management.

Plastic Waste Compliance

Why is plastic waste Compliance required?

Plastic Waste Compliance is vital to the proper management of plastics while also mitigating their impact on the environment. Assigning responsibilities for the post-consumption management of plastic packaging of producers, importers, and brand owners is furthering the entire authorization system in collecting, recycling, and disposal of plastic waste so that pollution is reduced, resource conservation is achieved, and a circular economy is nurtured. Ultimately, this would create an environment for reducing the adverse impacts of plastic on ecosystems, human health, and generations to come by creating accountability among various stakeholders for their plastic footprint.

EPR Registration for Plastic Waste Management in India

Plastic products are included in the modern-day life of people, but the reach of this use has thrown the whole earth into a serious mess. In India alone, it generates an estimated 5.6 million tons of plastic waste per year. Though recycling can be seen as a technique of plastic waste management, the most sustainable solution is reducing and disposing of the material in a responsible way.

What is the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

The growing challenges have seen the Government of India introduce the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework under the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules of 2016. EPR holds the responsibility of managing plastic waste to the Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs). These will be responsible for the collection, recycling, reusing, or safe disposal of plastic packaging waste from the products they put in the market.

Benefits of plastic waste Compliance

  • Environmental protection : Pollution of land, water, and air is minimized through the prevention of plastics from reaching landfills, oceans, or incineration to protect ecosystems, wildlife, and ultimately humans. 
  • Resource Transfusion: Plastics recycled are extracted and processed virgin oil and natural gas that are to be preserved for generations to come. 
  • Less Consumption of Energy: Energy is consumed less in recycling plastic to make a new product, which reduces the greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation. 
  • Economic Gains: The reuse of plastics generates jobs through collection, sorting, processing, and manufacturing, thus enhancing local economies as well as circularity.
  • Healthy Public: Reduced health risks emanating from plastic pollution are caused by rescinding ingestion of microplastics and exposure to hazardous chemicals caused during degradation or burning of plastics.
  • Improved Aesthetics: With proper waste management, clean and beautiful

documents required

  • PAN, GST, CIN ( Certification in Corporation), IEC (For Importer)
  • Aadhar /PAN of Authorized person
  • DIC Registration
  • Process flow diagrams (for producers & PWPs only)
  • Consents issued by SPCB/PCC (if the unit has a production facility)
  • Scanned copy of signatures of authorized persons.
  • Geo-tagged pictures of raw material storage area, production area, product dispatch area, and plant machinery
  • Documents regarding any other information that the unit wishes to provide.

Official government notification for plastic waste registration

Banned single-use plastic item in india

In India, effective July 1, 2022, the manufacture, import, stocking, sale, distribution, and use of a few specified single-use plastic (SUP) items have been banned under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2021.

Legal Framework & Amendments

February 16, 2022, the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change published an amendment of the PWM Rules in which PIBOs and Plastic Waste Processors (PWPs) are liable to perform their responsibilities under the provisions of Schedule II of the amended rules.

EPR Registration Process

Now, under these guidelines:

PIBOs need to register on the Centralized Online EPR Portal developed by the CPCB.

PIBOs operating for one or two states/UTs need to register with the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC) accordingly.

In case PIBOs operate in more than two states/UTs, they need to register with CPCB.

Compliance and Certification

For compliance with the EPR target, the two-fold actions that the PIBOs need to take will include:

Engaging authorized Plastic Waste Processors (PWPs).

Ensuring the waste management is done according to the EPR Action Plan.

PWPs will issue certificates based on the amount of plastic waste processed. PIBOs can use these certificates to demonstrate compliance with the target.

Failure to comply may result in the imposition of environmental compensation and those prescribed by law or through any regulatory measures.

Plastic Packaging Categories Subjected to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

According to the Plastic Waste Management Rules, the EPR framework categorizes plastic packaging into four heads. The following distinct categories reiterate the responsibilities of Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) under plastic waste management:

Category I: Rigid Plastic Packaging

This includes any type of rigid or hard plastic packaging that retains its shape and presents a very limited scope of deformation.

Category II: Flexible Plastic Packaging

This would include:

Flexible plastic packaging that is single- or multi-layered (with different types of plastic layers)

Plastic sheet or sheet-like materials

Plastic covers, carry bags, sachets, and pouches

Category III: Multi-Layered Plastic Packaging

Packaging materials composed of:

At least one layer of plastic and

At least one layer of a material other than plastic (including aluminum, paper, etc.).

Category IV: Compostable Plastic and Plastic Sheets

Including:

Plastic sheets or sheet-like packaging materials

Certified compostable plastic carry bags

The list of single-use plastic item

Procedure for Plastic Waste Compliance

  • Application submission : The online application form for authorization of plastic waste management and all requisite documents have to be submitted by the applicant via the official designated portal.
  • Application Verification: The concerned SPCB or UTPCC shall verify and inspect the submitted application.
  • Document Examination: The documents submitted will be examined.
  • Decision About an Authorization: After that, the SPCB or UTPCC shall either approve or refuse the application for authorization for plastic waste management.

EPR registration : validity Renewal, and Cancellation Procedure

The original registration is for one year, while the renewed registration is for three years.

PIBOs will be able to submit applications for renewal with all required documents four months before the expiry date of registration.

The registration granted to PIBOs under EPR Plastic Waste can be cancelled or suspended at any time if false documents are discovered.
