What are the C&D Waste EPR targets?
The 2025 rules set EPR recycling targets (Schedule I) and minimum waste-utilisation targets for building (Schedule II) and road (Schedule III) construction, phasing up to 2030-31. Producers must deposit 100% of their C&D waste to a processing facility. Exact year-by-year recycling percentages should be confirmed against the final notified gazette.
What happens if a Contractor / Authorised Agency doesn’t comply?
Environmental Compensation is levied on entities violating the rules — including unregistered producers/recyclers and those missing EPR or waste-utilisation targets. Payment does not cancel the obligation, with graded refunds (up to 85% if cured early, down to 30%, nil after three years). Collected funds sit in an escrow account for managing legacy/orphan waste.
