EPR Compliance for Brand Owners

Complete EPR management for product brands and trademark holders

Overview

As a brand owner, you are responsible for EPR compliance even if your products are manufactured by third parties. We manage your complete EPR lifecycle from registration to annual compliance.

EPR Requirements for Brand Owners

Brand Owner Registration

Mandatory registration with CPCB if you own the brand/trademark under which products are sold, regardless of who manufactures them.

Contract Manufacturer Coordination

Establish EPR responsibility allocation with co-packers, contract manufacturers, and third-party producers.

Market-wide EPR Coverage

EPR obligations cover ALL your branded products sold in India across all channels (retail, online, export, B2B).

Packaging Data Collection

Collect accurate packaging data from all manufacturers producing your branded products.

Common EPR Challenges

  • Managing EPR when multiple manufacturers produce under your brand
  • Ensuring consistent packaging data reporting from contract manufacturers
  • Clarifying EPR responsibility in manufacturing agreements
  • Tracking sales and packaging across diverse distribution channels
  • Managing EPR costs as part of product COGS
  • Compliance for brands sold through franchisees or distributors

Success Story

A food brand with products manufactured by 5 different co-packers across 3 states was confused about EPR responsibility. We registered the brand owner (not individual manufacturers), established EPR data collection agreements with all co-packers, calculated unified EPR targets based on brand sales, and procured certificates centrally. This simplified compliance (single annual return instead of 5), reduced costs through bulk procurement, and provided clear accountability.
