Overview of PRO Authorisation
Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) are transforming the ecosystem of e-waste recycling. This is accomplished by Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) efficiently collecting, channelling, and recycling e-waste on their behalf and assisting them in meeting their collection goals in the process. For the benefit of the PIBOs in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) industry, they operate by establishing official networks of collectors, dismantlers, and recyclers of e-waste.
The principal entity responsible for approving a PRO’s right to work in India is the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The PRO’s capacity and abilities to manage the work of collection, transportation, and disassembly are assessed by CPCB. Before granting the authorization, the board also checks the Producer Responsibility Organization’s ability to run an awareness campaign. Additionally, the PROs assist the environmental agencies in PIBO verification, decision-making on current environmental regulations, and prompt reform.

The recycling plant is acknowledged globally after it registers as a Producer Responsibility Organization. Some PIBOs manage their Extended Producer Responsibility through internal departments (EPR). The majority of domestic and foreign EEE producers choose to delegate this duty to nearby facilities that have a track record of managing e-waste. Therefore, if you possess these qualities, you must register as a PRO.
However, it will also come with certain new obligations, such as establishing locations for the collection of used EEE goods, offering reverse logistics, creating EPR plans for clients, and running consumer awareness campaigns. Additional compliance requirements include keeping track of waste management, submitting annual reports to the CPCB, maintaining toll-free numbers, and adhering to any other directives the board may issue from time to time.
Required skills and abilities to obtain a PRO Authorisation
Documents Required for PRO Authorisation
A waste processor must provide the following paperwork to the CPCB with their application in order to be registered for PRO Authorization:
Registration Process for PRO Authorisation
| Documents & Fee Submission | Document Scrutiny by CPCB | Grant of EPR authorisation |
| The candidate must complete an application form and submit all necessary paperwork in order to receive PRO Authorization. The information about its channel partners, aggregators, and logistic partners must be included in the paperwork. It is necessary to include information regarding capacity (collection, storage, and transportation), the method of collection, and the toll-free number. | When an application is incomplete, the CPCB verifies it and responds with a checklist within 25 days. | Within 60 days, CPCB issues PRO Authorization. Five years are allowed for registration to be active. The approving authority is the Member Secretary. |
Renewal of PRO Authorisation
The CPCB granted the PRO Authorization, which has a five-year expiration date. Before 60 days after the expiration of the authorisation, an application for renewal of PRO Authorisation must be submitted.
Refusal of PRO Authorisation by CPCB
If an application cannot provide the necessary information regarding quantity, its EPR strategy and RoHS, self-declaration, or the agreement copy with authorised dismantlers/recyclers within 45 days of the CPCB raising such a concern, the CPCB may refuse PRO Authorization to the applicant. Before the issuance of an EPR authorization is denied, the applicant is given the chance to make its case.
Cancellation of PRO authorisation
The registration may be revoked if, at any time, the CPCB discovers a PRO infringing any provision of the Environmental (Protection) Act 1896, the E-waste Management Rules 2016, or their amendments during random verification. PRO is given a chance to present their case prior to cancellation.
