Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has emerged as a key framework in managing battery waste, placing the onus on producers, importers, and brand owners to ensure environmentally sound recycling and disposal of end-of-life batteries. With the growing use of batteries in electronics, vehicles, and industrial applications, the need for a structured waste management system is more critical than ever.

EPR registration is now a mandatory compliance requirement in India under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. This ensures that every entity involved in the lifecycle of batteries contributes to a circular economy. The process not only encourages responsible recycling but also promotes innovation in eco-friendly battery designs and reverse logistics.

This process promotes accountability and transparency, pushing stakeholders to track and manage the lifecycle of batteries effectively. With non-compliance leading to penalties or business disruptions, understanding the steps and documentation needed for EPR registration is crucial for companies to maintain both legal standing and environmental credibility.
