Verified Waste Processing for EPR Compliance
Under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), businesses such as Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) are required to meet annual recycling and processing targets for the waste generated from their products.
These targets are defined by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and vary based on type of material, quantity introduced into the market, applicable year, and regulatory phase.
Greenshield Enviro provides end-to-end EPR target fulfilment, ensuring compliance through verified recyclers, traceable documentation, and seamless CPCB reporting.
EPR target fulfilment must be traceable, verified, and audit-ready. Correct target calculation, authorized recyclers, waste channelization, certificates, documentation, and CPCB portal reporting must be managed carefully.
What is EPR Target Fulfilment?
EPR Target Fulfilment means matching the quantity introduced into the market with equivalent verified waste processing.
Collection of post-consumer waste
Channelization to authorized recyclers
Recycling or processing of waste
Generation of compliance certificates
The goal is to match the quantity introduced into the market with equivalent waste processing.
How EPR Targets Are Calculated
EPR obligations are calculated based on the quantity introduced in market and applicable target percentage.
Obligation Inputs
Correct calculation is the foundation of EPR target fulfilment. Wrong QIM data or wrong target percentage can create compliance gaps.
Quantity Introduced in Market (QIM)
Total material sold or introduced by the company.
Applicable Target Percentage
Defined by CPCB for each waste category.
If a company introduces 10,000 kg plastic packaging and the target is 80%, then the required recycling is 8,000 kg.
Required Recycling = QIM × Applicable Target %EPR Targets by Waste Category
EPR targets vary by material type and regulatory phase. Greenshield Enviro supports fulfilment across plastic, e-waste, battery, and tyre waste categories.
Plastic Waste
Plastic EPR targets are progressive and most relevant for many PIBOs.
- Rigid plastic
- Flexible plastic
- Multi-layered plastic (MLP)
- Compostable plastic
E-Waste
Targets are based on quantity sold in previous years and must be fulfilled through authorized recyclers.
- Collection
- Recycling through authorized recyclers
- CPCB documentation
Battery Waste
Targets vary by battery type and apply to EV batteries, portable batteries, and industrial batteries.
- Lithium-ion
- Lead-acid
- Industrial batteries
Tyre Waste
Targets are applicable for waste tyre recycling and increase progressively across phases.
- Waste tyre recycling
- Authorized processors
- Compliance documentation
Compliance is not just recycling — it also includes circular economy requirements such as reuse targets and recycled content usage where applicable.
