EPR For Used Oil Central Pollution Control Board
The waste management regulations in India have been recently amended by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Additionally, it has incorporated used oil into the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, which now includes new provisions. Previously, EPR was applicable to four categories of waste; however, used oil has been included as a distinct category. This amendment also requires manufacturers, importers, and recyclers of used oil to get EPR certification.
They must obtain this certification from the CPCB or State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). It helps businesses follow the necessary rules for waste management. Furthermore, included in the EPR system is used oil, which addresses waste problems both before and after consumer usage of goods. Including spent oil is meant to help with environmental damage prevention and better management of it.
