Hello Friends,
This is Keval Shah here from Afleo Group.
You all are aware that plastic waste is a significant problem, and due to its increasing volume, it causes considerable harm to the environment. We know that plastic is accumulating in the oceans, and animals like cows are ingesting plastic in their bodies. Shockingly, a report predicts that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish.
In India, we generate around 35 lakh metric tons of plastic waste annually, and unfortunately, only around 40% of it is recycled or processed. Controlling this plastic waste is crucial.
To address this issue, the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change introduced the "Environment Protection Act," which includes three main Waste Management Rules:
1. Plastic Waste Management Rules - For managing plastic packaging waste.
2. E-waste Management Rules - For electronic waste management.
3. Battery Waste Management Rules - For managing battery waste.
If any company falls into any of these categories, they are required to obtain EPR Registration. However, in this video, we will focus solely on Plastic Waste Management Rules.
As per the definition, "Extended Producer Responsibility" means the responsibility of a producer for the environmentally sound management of the product until the end of its life.
This implies that it is the producer's responsibility, as per the rules, to ensure proper re-use and recycling of plastic packaging products until the end of their life to prevent plastic waste from harming the environment.
For example, a company like Coca-Cola that manufactures numerous plastic bottles would have the responsibility to process the plastic waste they generate in an environmentally sound manner until the end of the bottles' life cycle.
Kindly give us your feedback on this and subscribe to our channel for regular updates.
