EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) for batteries represents revolutionary way to manage battery waste.
EPR clause for batteries is introduced in India through Battery Waste Management Rule 2022.
The policy framework mandates the producers, manufacturers, brands and importers of the dry cell batteries to take accountability for the entire lifecycle of their product.
Through EPR framework, producers are encouraged to create sustainable designs, and to promote safe disposal and recycling of used dry cell batteries.
Battery EPR fosters collaboration between battery manufacturers, consumers, recyclers and authorities, driving innovation and sustainability in the industry while reducing environmental impact of battery waste.
