Collection Center Registration and EPR Services

Register and operate as an EPR-linked plastic waste collection center

Overview

Collection centers play a critical role in the EPR chain by aggregating plastic waste from multiple sources and supplying to recyclers or PROs. We support registration, documentation, and tie-ups with recyclers and PROs under PWM Rules 2022.

EPR Requirements for Collection Centers

Registration and Recognition

Register or get recognized as a collection center under CPCB/PWM framework so your collected waste counts toward EPR fulfillment.

Waste Segregation and Weighment

Maintain proper segregation by plastic category, weighment records, and handover documentation to recyclers or PROs.

Recycler/PRO Agreements

Formal agreements with registered recyclers or PROs for offtake of collected plastic with traceability.

Reporting

Submit collection data and handover records as required for EPR accounting and CPCB reporting.

Common EPR Challenges

  • Understanding registration and eligibility for collection centers
  • Consistent segregation and documentation at scale
  • Finding reliable offtake (recyclers/PROs) at fair rates
  • Transport and logistics cost for sending material to recyclers
  • Seasonal variation in collection volumes
  • Compliance with local municipal and pollution norms

Success Story

A collection center in Tamil Nadu handling 15 MT of plastic per month was not linked to any PRO or recycler. We helped them get recognition, set up weighment and handover documentation, and tied them up with a PRO operating in the state. They now supply 12 MT monthly to the PRO's recycler network, with stable offtake and improved revenue.
