Plastic Packaging Categories Explained — questions we get
Why do plastic packaging categories matter?
The Plastic Waste Management Rules define categories that determine how packaging is classified and how obligations are tracked on the CPCB portal. Correct classification drives accurate targets. We classify your portfolio precisely.
What happens if packaging is mis-categorised?
Mis-categorisation can distort your target calculation and lead to disputed returns or fulfilment gaps. It is a common source of error. We verify classification to prevent this.
Can one product use multiple categories?
A product’s packaging can span more than one category, and each is tracked separately on the portal. Accurate splitting is therefore important. We map each packaging component to its correct category.
