Which non-ferrous metal products are covered under this EPR?
Non-Ferrous Metals EPR is applicable only to products listed in Schedule X of the Hazardous & Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2025.
Who must register for Non-Ferrous Metals EPR?
Manufacturer, Producer (incl. Importer), Collection Agent, Refurbisher, Recycler. Five categories must register with CPCB: manufacturer, producer, collection agent, refurbisher and recycler. No one in these categories may operate without registration, and registered entities may deal only with other registered entities. “Producer” includes importers. A “bulk consumer” (using 1,000+ tons of listed non-ferrous products a year, including e-retailers) has obligations but is not a registration category.
What does Social Lab actually do for Non-Ferrous Metals EPR?
End-to-end: CPCB registration, EPR target fulfilment via the credit system, periodic returns, and audit-ready documentation — so your Non-Ferrous Metals EPR obligation is fully managed.
What happens if we don’t comply?
Environmental Compensation applies to non-compliant manufacturers, producers, collection agents, refurbishers or recyclers (registered or not). Payment doesn’t cancel the EPR target (unfulfilled targets carry forward up to 3 years). Refunds are graduated — 85% within one year, 60% within two, 30% within three, nil after. Recyclers over-generating certificates above 5% of actual recycling face temporary revocation; repeat violations, permanent revocation.
