Manage your electronic product take-back obligations,
recycler network, and CPCB returns — all automated.
The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 — notified by MoEF&CC — make it mandatory for every manufacturer and importer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) to take responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products. If your company makes or imports laptops, mobile phones, televisions, routers, printers, refrigerators, washing machines, or any of 106 notified EEE product categories — you are legally obligated to register, meet collection and recycling targets, and file annual returns on CPCB's E-Waste portal.
E-waste is India's fastest-growing waste stream. With only 22% of India's e-waste being formally recycled, CPCB is dramatically increasing enforcement. Show-cause notices, certificate verification drives, and customs interceptions for non-registered importers are now routine.
Companies manufacturing EEE covered under Schedule I — 106 product types across 21 categories
Entities importing EEE products or components for assembly or sale in India. Importers face customs clearance blocks for products from non-registered entities.
Online marketplaces and D2C brands selling EEE products above prescribed volumes
CPCB-authorised facilities that collect, dismantle, and recycle e-waste — must register as PWPs on the e-waste portal
Entities refurbishing EEE products have separate registration and reporting obligations under the 2022 rules
E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 — notified by MoEF&CC. Prior rules (2016) superseded. 106 EEE product categories under Schedule I.
ewaste.cpcb.gov.in — producer registration, target assignment, collection data entry, and return filing (Form-1).
Year 1 (FY 22-23): 60% · Year 2: 65% · Year 3: 70% — targets based on weight of EEE put on market in year minus 2.
Recycling Certificates (from recyclers) & Refurbishment Certificates (from refurbishers) — tradeable on ETP.
Annual return (Form-1) filed on CPCB portal. Quarterly collection data maintained in Form-2.
₹10 lakh to ₹50 lakh per violation · Cancellation of EPR registration · Customs hold on imported EEE for non-compliance.
Non-registered importers face customs hold. CPCB communicates with port authorities to block EEE consignments.
Separate EPR obligations for IT equipment, consumer appliances, large appliances, lamps, and batteries within EEE.
Annual audit by CPCB-empanelled auditor required for large producers to verify Form-1 and Form-2 data.
CPCB enforcement has intensified for EEE importers. Ensure your EPR registration is valid before your next shipment arrives.
106 product categories across 21 EEE types create complex target calculations — most companies rely on manual spreadsheets.
Collection data from recyclers must be entered quarterly in Form-2 with GST invoice numbers — a significant manual data entry burden.
Recycler (dismantler) management is fragmented — agreements, authorisations, and volumes tracked via email and phone calls.
CPCB has detected thousands of fake e-waste certificates. Buying invalid ones results in liability re-instatement and penalties.
Importers face customs interception if EPR registration lapses — causing shipment delays and business disruption with no warning.
Form-1 compilation requires reconciliation across multiple product categories, collection points, recyclers, and states — taking weeks.
