Authorized EPR Fulfillment for Category I & II Plastics
Secure channelization for HDPE Drums and LDPE Films. 100% CPCB Portal traceability and valid EPR Certificate generation for Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs).
The Hazardous Trap
Disposing of chemical-contaminated HDPE drums (Cat I) as 'general scrap' violates Rule 9. Contaminated containers are Hazardous Waste, not Plastic Waste.
Mechanical Recycling
Shredding & Extrusion
EPR Certificate
CPCB Portal Credits.
High-Volume Industrial Packaging
Regulated under PWM Rules 2022. Requires strict segregation by density and flexibility for mechanical recycling to meet specific EPR targets.
Regulatory Classification
Rigid Packaging
HDPE Drums, PET Bottles, PP Crates, Jerry Cans, Caps.
Flexible Packaging
LDPE Films, Shrink Wrap, Carry Bags, Woven Sacks.
Contaminated Containers
Schedule I, item 33.1. Hazardous Waste until decontaminated.
Category I: Rigid
Industrial drums, bottles, crates. High-density, chemically resistant.
Category II: Flexible
Shrink wrap, liners, films, sacks. Low-weight, high-volume.
Regulatory Tripwires
Governed by Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2022.
EPR Liability
PIBOs failing to recycle specific percentages of Cat I & II generation face non-compliance. You must purchase "EPR Certificates" to avoid CPCB penalties.
The Hazardous Trap
Disposing of chemical-contaminated drums as 'general scrap' is a Rule 9 violation. Only authorized decontamination facilities can process these.
CONTAMINATION
Chemical drums must be triple-rinsed and punctured. Residue = Hazardous Waste.
COMPACTION
Flexible films (Cat II) must be baled. Loose storage creates fire hazards and logistics inefficiency.
NO MIXING
Never mix Cat I (Rigid) with Cat II (Flexible). EPR credits are category-specific and not fungible.

Segregation, Digital Logistics, and Credit Generation
Segregation & Baling
- Cat II: On-site baling for films.
- Cat I: 'Empty' status verification.
Digital Logistics
- Traceability for Form IV Returns.
- Standard Challans (Clean) / Form 10 (Contaminated/Hazardous).
Recycling & Credits
Shredding/Washing/Extrusion into Granules.

Technical FAQs
Can I sell empty chemical HDPE drums to a local scrap dealer?
No. Under Schedule I, Item 33.1, contaminated containers are Hazardous Waste. They must go to an authorized facility, not a scrap dealer.
Diff between Cat I and Cat II credits?
Credits are category-specific. Cat I (Rigid) obligations cannot be offset by Cat II (Flexible) credits. We ensure exact credit generation.
Can oil-contaminated shrink wrap be recycled?
Heavily contaminated plastic is hazardous (Sch I, 5.2). It should be Co-processed in cement kilns (AFR) for energy recovery, not mechanically recycled.
Do I need to register on CPCB portal?
Yes. Brand Owners using packaging are PIBOs and must register to fulfill recycling targets.
Minimum thickness for carry bags?
MoEFCC mandates >120 microns thickness to ensure recyclability. Thinner bags are illegal.
