EPR Monitoring Support for State Pollution Control Boards

Tools and training for EPR monitoring and enforcement at state level

Overview

State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) play a key role in monitoring EPR compliance, verifying recyclers and collection centers, and enforcing PWM Rules. We offer training, data frameworks, and advisory support to strengthen state-level EPR oversight.

EPR Requirements for State Pollution Control Boards

EPR Awareness and Capacity

Build internal capacity on PWM Rules 2022, EPR portal, and verification procedures for producers, recyclers, and PROs.

Monitoring and Verification

Structured approaches to verify EPR registration, certificate authenticity, and annual return compliance of obligated entities.

Data and Reporting

Align state-level data collection and reporting with CPCB formats and national EPR targets.

Stakeholder Coordination

Coordinate with CPCB, other SPCBs, and local bodies for consistent EPR implementation.

Common EPR Challenges

  • Keeping pace with frequent CPCB notifications and portal updates
  • Verifying large numbers of producers, importers, and brand owners
  • Assessing recycler and PRO compliance and certificate validity
  • Limited staff trained on EPR and plastic waste rules
  • Data consistency across states and with CPCB
  • Enforcement without hindering ease of doing business

Our Process

  1. 1
    Initial Consultation

    We analyze your scope and EPR applicability.

  2. 2
    CPCB Registration

    Complete documentation, portal setup, and EPR registration submission.

  3. 3
    Target Setting

    Calculate annual EPR targets based on PIB (Plastic in Brand).

  4. 4
    Certificate Procurement

    Source EPR certificates from our recycler network at competitive rates.

  5. 5
    Annual Returns

    Compile data, prepare Form 1 & Form 2, and submit before the June 30th deadline.

  6. 6
    Ongoing Support

    Year-round compliance monitoring and regulatory updates.

Success Story

An SPCB partnered with us to train 25 officials on EPR and the CPCB portal. We also provided verification checklists for producers and recyclers. Within three months the board had conducted 40+ EPR compliance checks and referred 8 non-compliant units for follow-up, improving state-level EPR oversight.
