EPR for Electronics Manufacturers — E-Waste & Packaging
Dual EPR compliance for electronics: E-Waste Management & Plastic Packaging
Overview
Electronics manufacturers have a unique dual EPR obligation: E-Waste Management Rules for electronic products and Plastic Waste Management Rules for packaging. We provide integrated compliance solutions for both regulations.
EPR Requirements for Electronics Manufacturers
E-Waste EPR Authorization
Register under E-Waste Management Rules 2022 for collection, channelization, and recycling of end-of-life electronics.
Packaging EPR Registration
Separate registration for plastic packaging materials used in product packaging (boxes, foam, bubble wrap, etc.).
Dual Target Achievement
Meet collection targets for e-waste (percentage of sales from previous years) AND EPR certificates for plastic packaging.
Collection Center Network
Establish or partner with authorized e-waste collection centers for product take-back programs.
Common EPR Challenges
- Managing two separate EPR compliance streams (e-waste + packaging)
- Establishing nationwide collection infrastructure for e-waste
- Tracking product sales and estimating end-of-life returns
- Higher EPR targets for electronics packaging due to protective materials
- Consumer awareness and participation in take-back programs
- Coordinating with authorized e-waste recyclers and dismantlers

Success Story
A consumer electronics manufacturer selling 50,000 units annually with significant plastic packaging was non-compliant with both e-waste and packaging EPR. We registered them under both regulations, established a partnership with a national PRO for e-waste collection (covering 15 states), procured plastic packaging certificates for 12 tonnes annually, and ensured 100% compliance with both regulations within 6 months.
