As the demand for batteries has increased tremendously especially due to the high demand of electronic devices and electric vehicles, this has caused a lot of concern to the environment. Flammable material from batteries can leach into the ground and water systems when not properly disposed therefore they are hazardous. To deter this, the Indian government has put into place the battery waste EPR or Extended Producer Responsibility. This regulation has it that producers are fully accountable for batteries throughout their life cycle; from manufacture and use to disposal or recycling. Holding of an EPR Certificate plays a crucial role in compliance with legal requirements that apply to companies handling batteries and promoting the enhancement of environmental sustainability.
It is evident that the EPR framework is all encompassing, in that it addresses all stakeholders in the life cycle of batteries. The following entities should apply for an External Producer Responsibility Certification for battery waste:
Original equipment manufacturers as well as makers of lithium-ion, lead-acid and other types of batteries need to gain an EPR Certificate for proper stewardship of batteries they produce.
Other businesses, which import batteries into India, are also legally binded to obtain the EPR Registration. As a result, imported batteries should be controlled, supervised, and regulated in accordance with the existing environment policies in the country.
Various other activities that occur with batteries as part of post-consumer wastes also entail EPR regulations for the entities involved in distribution and sale of batteries. In this regard, they should engage certified recyclers to enable them to ensure proper collection of used batteries.
Any producer directly involved in the manufacture of electrical appliances that includes one or more batteries to power an appliance has to acquire an EPR Certificate that regulates the disposal of batteries.
