The mistake we see

Treating the containers as the whole obligation and missing the used-oil recycling target, in force since 1 April 2024.

What triggers it: Base & lubricating oils · Packaged oils & greases · Containers & packaging

In practice

What EPR actually looks like for lubricant & oil companies

Manufacturers and importers of base or lubricating oil carry Used-Oil EPR, in force since 1 April 2024: annual recycling targets met by buying EPR certificates from registered recyclers and re-refiners, all through CPCB’s used-oil portal. Plastic Packaging EPR applies to the drums, cans and bottles the oil is sold in. The recycling target is the part most oil marketers overlook.
