What is EPR Registration for Batteries ?
An EPR Certificate for Batteries is an official authorization issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. It serves as proof that a manufacturer, importer, or brand owner has fulfilled their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) by collecting, recycling, or refurbishing end-of-life batteries in accordance with the targets prescribed by the government. This certificate is mandatory for all producers dealing with portable, automotive, industrial, or electric vehicle batteries in India. It not only ensures legal compliance but also promotes the safe management of hazardous battery waste and supports a circular economy by enabling the recovery of valuable materials. Without this certificate, companies risk facing penalties, restrictions, or cancellation of their registration.
