If your venture has the potential to impact air or water quality, you’ll likely need a PCB NOC. This typically applies to a broad range of entities, including:
- Industries: Manufacturing units, power plants, chemical factories, etc.
- Service Sectors: Hospitals, hotels, convention centers generating large volumes of waste.
- Construction Activities: Large-scale construction projects that might generate significant dust or require wastewater management.
1. This Act may be called The Factories Act 1948. It extends to the whole of India, It shall come into force on the 1st day of April 1949.
The Factories Act, 1948, is a cornerstone of industrial regulation in India. It establishes guidelines for the safe and healthy operation of factories, ensuring worker well-being and environmental protection. Within this Act lies the concept of a factory license, a crucial permit for businesses involved in manufacturing activities.
E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022
These rules shall apply to every manufacturer, producer refurbisher, dismantler and recycler involved in manufacture, sale, transfer, purchase, refurbishing, dismantling, recycling and processing of e-waste or electrical and electronic equipment listed in Schedule I, including their components, consumables, parts and spares which make the product operational.
The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, implemented in India on April 1, 2023, introduced a revamped Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework for electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) waste management.
- Manufacturers:
- Resource Security: By incorporating recycled materials and designing for disassembly, manufacturers can reduce reliance on virgin resources and potentially cut costs.
- Brand Reputation: Demonstrating environmental responsibility through responsible E-waste management strengthens brand image and attracts eco-conscious consumers.
- Resource Security: By incorporating recycled materials and designing for disassembly, manufacturers can reduce reliance on virgin resources and potentially cut costs.
- Recyclers:
- Growth Opportunities: The increasing volume of E-waste creates a booming market for efficient and responsible recycling practices.
- Innovation Spark: EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) incentivizes investment in advanced recycling technologies, creating new jobs and boosting the green economy.
- Growth Opportunities: The increasing volume of E-waste creates a booming market for efficient and responsible recycling practices.
- Refurbishers:
- Extended Product Lifespan: Refurbishing extends the life cycle of electronics, offering consumers high-quality products at competitive prices while reducing demand for new devices.
India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program for E-waste management assigns responsibilities to various entities within the E-Waste lifecycle.
CPCB Oversight: The CPCB will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with EPR regulations. This might involve:
- Regular inspections of PIBOs and recycling plants.
- Data collection and reporting requirements for PIBOs.
- Issuing penalties for non-compliance.
Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs):
- Registration: Comply with the online registration process through the CPCB portal (details and launch date awaited).
Implemented in 2016, India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program assigns post-consumer plastic packaging waste management responsibility to producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs). This policy shift incentivizes:
- Reduced Plastic Use: PIBOs are encouraged to minimize plastic packaging and explore sustainable alternatives.
- Enhanced Collection & Recycling: EPR mandates PIBO participation in collection systems, promoting a circular economy for plastic.
Current Status:- Implementation: The EPR framework for plastic waste management is still under development. The CPCB is finalizing details regarding online registration procedures, specific EPR obligations for PIBOs, and financial mechanisms.
- Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, 2021: These amendments aim to further strengthen EPR by prohibiting specific categories of single-use plastic items with low utility and high littering potential.
- Implementation: The EPR framework for plastic waste management is still under development. The CPCB is finalizing details regarding online registration procedures, specific EPR obligations for PIBOs, and financial mechanisms.
MoEF&CC notified Amendment to PWM Rules on February 16, 2022 as per
which the Producers, Importers, Brand-owners (PIBOs) shall carry out Extended Producer Responsibility for management of plastic waste as per Guidelines given in Schedule II of PWM Rules. As per Clause 11.1 of the Guidelines, Plastic Waste Processors (PWPs) namely the recyclers, waste to energy plants including co-processing cement plants, plastic waste to oil units, and industrial composting facilities shall have to register with concerned SPCBs/PCCs in accordance with provision 13(3) of PWM Rules, 2016 on the centralized EPR portal developed by CPCB. Further, CPCB shall lay down uniform procedure for PWP registration within three months of the publication of these guidelines.

Calling all Producers, Importers, Brand Owners (PIBOs)! Those used batteries are a ticking time bomb, not a profit booster. The new Battery Waste Management Rules are here to supercharge your responsibility. 
EPR for batteries is mandatory, and non-compliance can seriously short-circuit your business. But fear not, PIBOs! Embrace the change and unlock the electrifying benefits:
- The recently introduced Battery Waste Management Rules, 2023, in India, place significant emphasis on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for battery producers and importers.
Don’t be a battery drain, PIPO! Become a sustainability leader and power your business towards a greener future!
- Covering all the documentation requirements for the battery recycling business
- End-to-end legal assistance
- Comprehensive support related to all the queries
- Liaising with the authorities throughout the process of business establishment
A Charge Towards Sustainability
India’s battery waste management landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with the introduction of the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. These rules establish an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, making producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of batteries they introduce into the market.
