EPR compliance for Pharmaceutical 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 Pharmaceutical 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 →Declaring all packaging as one category. Bottles and closures (rigid) and foil-laminated strip packs (multi-layered) sit in different categories with different targets.
What triggers it: Strip & blister packs · Bottles, jars & closures · Sachets, tubes & secondary packaging
What EPR actually looks like for pharmaceutical companies
Pharma packaging spans more than one plastic category. Bottles, jars and closures are rigid (Category I), while strip packs laminated with aluminium foil combine a plastic layer with a non-plastic one — the definition of multi-layered (Category III). Each category carries its own targets, so the registered quantity has to be split correctly. Medium and large pharma companies register as brand owners; micro and small brand owners are exempt.
