EPR Registration Services for End-to-End Compliance

Environmental compliance is no longer optional but essential. For producers, importers, and brand owners, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a critical framework for sustainable waste management. But navigating EPR rules, documentation, and reporting can feel overwhelming.

At SOFTEX Consultancy Services LLP, we offer EPR Consultant services that help you comply with India's evolving environmental mandates without stress or delays. From plastic packaging to e-waste and battery waste, we streamline the EPR Registration Services process, help you meet recycling targets, and ensure you’re always audit-ready.

What Is EPR and Why Does It Matter?

EPR, or Extended Producer Responsibility, is a regulatory approach under which producers are made responsible for the environmental impact of their products after use, particularly their end-of-life disposal. In India, EPR is enforced under:

  • Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (and amendments)
  • E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022
  • Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022

If your business falls into any of the following categories, you are legally required to comply with EPR mandates:

  • Producer or importer of plastic packaging
  • Manufacturer of electronic goods or batteries
  • Brand owner marketing products in plastic
  • Waste recycler managing post-consumer products

Failure to comply can lead to penalties, rejection of imports, or loss of key environmental certifications. As your EPR Consultant, our job is to ensure full compliance while saving you time and effort.
