Why it can’t wait

Plastic Packaging EPR is mandatory — and getting it wrong is expensive

Rules that keep moving

Notified rules, phased targets and periodic returns are a moving target most teams can’t track.

Penalties are real

Non-compliance draws Environmental Compensation from CPCB — a real cost, plus reputational and supply-chain risk.

It’s not your core job

Registration, credits, returns and audits pull your people away from running the business.
