Plastic Waste management

Plastic pollution is an environmental problem that is growing at a global scale, and promoters and laws are designing some regulations and intended to set standards for waste management. Waste compliance through plastic involves that an organization is accepted by standards for managing and disposing of plastics. Such conditions would contain plastic minimization consumption, recycling, and safe disposal. With the aid of certification, firms bolster their market image through their commitment to responsible environmental practice, maintaining applicable compliance with law and consumer expectations.   

   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 management required?

Plastic Waste Authorization 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 battery waste registration

Every producer, importer, and brand owner placing batteries on the market must register under EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) for battery waste management. Registration indicates accountability for the environmental impacts of batteries during their entire lifecycle, including collection, storage, transportation, recycling, and disposal. Under EPR regulations, batteries and battery waste financing and management will now fall on the entities responsible for registering in accordance with the regulations.

 It is, therefore, their duty to collect battery waste and ensure its environmentally sound management so that it is not deposited into landfills while recovering valuable materials for reuse. Specific requirements and procedures for registering under EPR differ from country to country or region to region.

Benefits of plastic waste management

  • 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
