Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy framework that makes producers responsible for the environmentally sound management of their products after end-of-life, especially plastic waste. EPR ensures accountability across the product lifecycle.

EPR is a regulatory mechanism under which producers, brand owners, and importers are required to collect, recycle, or dispose of the plastic waste generated from their products. This obligation can be fulfilled directly or through authorized partners such as Kokannest Waste Management.

WEPR plays a crucial role in sustainability by

• Reducing plastic pollution
• Promoting recycling and circular economy
• Encouraging eco-friendly product design
• Ensuring compliance with CPCB regulations

By partnering with Kokannest Waste Management, companies can meet sustainability goals while maintaining regulatory compliance.

EPR plastic credits represent verified recycling or processing of plastic waste. Companies can purchase these credits from authorized recyclers or PROs to offset their plastic footprint and fulfill EPR targets efficiently.

• Scalable EPR compliance
• Cost-effective waste management
• Transparent reporting and traceability
• Support for formal recycling ecosystems

A) Save the Ecosystem

Plastic credits help reduce landfill waste, marine pollution, and carbon emissions, contributing to ecosystem protection.

B) Convenient Waste Management

Through agencies like Kokannest Waste Management, companies can manage EPR obligations without setting up their own collection or recycling infrastructure.

C) Part of a Larger Strategy

EPR credits complement ESG initiatives, CSR programs, and corporate sustainability strategies.

• Assess plastic obligation as per CPCB norms
• Engage an authorized EPR partner (e.g., Kokannest Waste Management)
• Select verified recyclers
• Purchase EPR plastic credits
• Upload and report credits on the CPCB EPR portal

Circular economy practices help lower greenhouse gas emissions. Waste diversion from landfills reduces methane generation. Sustainable recycling supports climate change mitigation. Kokannest Waste Management adopts low-impact waste processes.

The CPCB plastic credit model allows producers to meet EPR targets by purchasing credits generated through recycling, reuse, or end-of-life disposal of plastic waste by registered recyclers and PROs.

Companies can use EPR plastic credits to

• Offset annual plastic waste obligations
• File compliance returns on the CPCB portal
• Support ESG and sustainability reporting
• Partner with authorized agencies like Kokannest Waste Management for end-to-end EPR solutions
