EPR Compliance for Battery Waste is a legal obligation under India’s Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. It mandates that producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) take responsibility for the collection, recycling, or refurbishment of batteries they place on the market. The policy ensures that used batteries are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner, reducing pollution and promoting sustainable development.
We rely on various types of batteries in our daily lives, and there has been a significant rise in battery-powered household electronic products over time. Additionally, the automotive industry is rapidly transitioning to battery-powered electric vehicles due to their environmental benefits and the reduced dependence on fossil fuels.
As the use of portable electronic devices grows, battery consumption continues to rise, leading to increased concerns about battery waste and the need for its safe, eco-friendly management. In this context, strict adherence to EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) compliance for battery waste is essential for governments, regulatory authorities, and all involved stakeholders.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach where producers are held accountable for the lifecycle of the products they introduce, especially after consumer use.
Battery waste includes all types of batteries that power electronic devices by converting chemical energy into electrical energy, along with their components, which may or may not be hazardous. This waste consists of expired or discarded batteries, as well as pre-consumer off-spec batteries units produced for testing that do not meet quality standards and aren’t released to the market. In the context of battery waste, this means:
EPR Compliance for Battery Waste plays a crucial role in:
The Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), apply to all types of batteries, portable, automotive, electric vehicle (EV), and industrial. Key provisions include:
The following entities must adhere to EPR Compliance for Battery Waste:
Producers must register online with CPCB using the official EPR portal. Registration is a prerequisite for lawful operations under the Battery Waste Management Rules.
An Extended Producer Responsibility Plan is to be submitted outlining collection targets, recycling partners, take-back schemes, and proposed awareness initiatives.
Set up mechanisms for battery waste collection, including partnerships with collection centers, dealers, or third-party logistics providers.
Ensure batteries are processed by CPCB-approved recyclers or refurbishers. The quantity recycled contributes to the producer’s EPR compliance targets.
Producers are required to obtain EPR Certificates from recyclers or refurbishes for the quantity of battery waste managed.
Submit annual reports to CPCB with documentary evidence of collection, disposal, and EPR certificate usage. Maintain records for at least three years.
