Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has become a cornerstone of waste management policy in India, particularly in the tyre recycling sector. This comprehensive guide explores the latest regulations and their implications for businesses in the industry.

Key EPR Requirements for Tyre Manufacturers

Under the new EPR guidelines, tyre manufacturers are required to:

  • Register with Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
  • Submit annual action plans for waste tyre collection
  • Achieve specific recycling targets
  • Maintain detailed documentation of recycling processes

Impact on the Recycling Industry

The implementation of EPR has created new opportunities and challenges for recycling facilities:

  • Increased demand for authorized recycling facilities
  • Need for better tracking and documentation systems
  • Enhanced focus on environmental compliance
  • Growth in partnerships between manufacturers and recyclers

Technological Requirements

To meet EPR compliance, recycling facilities must invest in:

  • Advanced pyrolysis technology
  • Emissions monitoring systems
  • Digital tracking and reporting tools
  • Quality control mechanisms

Future Outlook

The EPR framework is expected to evolve further, with potential changes including:

  • Stricter recycling targets
  • Enhanced reporting requirements
  • Integration with digital tracking platforms
  • Additional environmental safeguards
