Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

Our Extended Producer Responsibility service ensures that businesses take accountability for the entire life cycle of their products. We assist companies in meeting regulatory requirements and implementing sustainable practices. By adopting an EPR approach, we contribute to reducing environmental impact, promoting recycling, and fostering responsible product management.

Transforming E-Waste Management with EPR

The digital revolution has transformed our lives, but it has also generated a new and pressing environmental concern: e-waste. From discarded smartphones to outdated laptops are piling up at alarming rates, posing significant threats to our planet and health. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has emerged as a key strategy to address this challenge, placing the responsibility on manufacturers to manage the entire life cycle of their products, from production to end-of-life disposal.

Globally, we generate 50 million metric tons of e-waste annually, a number projected to double by 2050.

Only 20% of e-waste is recycled properly, with the rest ending up in landfills, poisoning ecosystems and leaching harmful chemicals.

E-waste contains valuable rare earth metals crucial for future technologies, yet their improper disposal creates resource scarcity.

Significance of EPR

EPR is a policy that shifts the responsibility for managing e-waste from municipalities and consumers to the producers themselves. It means manufacturers and importers are now accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, from design and production to collection, treatment, and recycling. This shift in responsibility incentivizes producers to

Design products for disassembly and recyclability.

Invest in efficient collection and recycling systems.

Reduce the environmental impact of their products throughout their lifecycle.
