EPR compliance for FMCG companies,
handled end-to-end.
We confirm exactly what applies, register you on the CPCB portals, then run targets, returns and audits.
Which EPR a FMCG business must register for
You put these on the market — so each of these applies. Start with your primary obligation.
As a brand owner, this is where your EPR starts — registration, targets and returns, handled for you.
See how we handle it →Assuming the co-packer or converter carries the obligation. Under the rules the brand owner is a producer in its own right.
What triggers it: Multi-layer & flexible packaging · PET & HDPE bottles · Rigid containers & caps
What EPR actually looks like for FMCG companies
The bulk of an FMCG obligation is Category II flexible and Category III multi-layer packaging — the hardest-to-recycle formats, which also carry the steepest recycled-content and recovery targets. You register as a brand owner even when a converter or co-packer makes the pack, and your registered quantity is the total packaging you introduce each year.
From “are we liable?” to audit-ready — for FMCG companies
We confirm exactly which EPR streams and roles apply to an FMCG business like yours — no over- or under-registering.
We register you on the right CPCB portal(s) with the correct role and product categories.
We meet your annual recycling / recovery targets via verified channels and file every periodic return on time.
We keep documentation audit-ready so you’re protected from Environmental Compensation.
