Automate your CPCB plastic packaging obligations end-to-end
and generate CPCB-ready returns in minutes.
Under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022, every Producer, Importer, and Brand Owner (PIBO) that introduces plastic packaging into the Indian market must register with CPCB, calculate their annual recycling obligation, procure EPR certificates from authorised recyclers, and file an annual return by 30 June every year.
This is India's most widely enforced EPR framework. With 5 plastic packaging categories, progressive recycling targets reaching 100% by FY 2027–28, mandatory URep (recycled content) obligations from FY 2025–26, and a public defaulter list published annually, plastic waste EPR is your most urgent compliance obligation.
Manufacturers of plastic packaging material — bottles, films, sachets, containers
Entities importing goods in plastic packaging or importing plastic packaging itself
Companies selling goods under their own brand in plastic packaging
Recyclers, co-processors, WtE/WtO facilities registered with CPCB
Entities trading finished plastic packaging now need 15-digit CPCB registration

Cat I (Rigid), Cat II (Flexible), Cat III (Multi-layer), Cat IV (Compostable), Cat V (Industrial)
Cat I/II/IV: 80% · Cat III: 60% · Reaching 100% by FY 2027–28
Cat I: 30% · Cat II: 10% · Cat III: 5% — Recycled content requirement from FY 25–26
₹2,000/MT shortfall · ₹5,000/MT non-filing · 1-year ban for false data
The new recycled content obligations are complex and category-specific. Let our experts show you how EcoTrace automates the calculation.
Monthly EPR liability calculated manually from sales data across hundreds of SKUs and states — taking 3–5 working days.
Multi-layer certificates are the scarcest and most expensive — companies with laminates face maximum risk.
New recycled content obligations from FY 2025–26 add a calculation layer that no existing tool tracks.
Annual return compilation takes 2–4 weeks — reconciling state-wise data and GST invoice numbers.
No single audit trail — CPCB auditors request documentation and teams scramble to piece together records.
Shortfalls discovered only weeks before 30 June, forcing purchases at 2–3× normal certificate prices.
India's only plastic waste EPR software built natively for CPCB workflows.
Sales data from your ERP auto-calculates category-wise EPR obligation in MT — applied per SKU, per state, per entity. No spreadsheets.
