Unfortunately, considering the present fast-paced world and its production of wastes, especially for the offices, the generation of wastes is rapidly rising. Offices are major sources of different types of waste for instance; e-waste, paper waste, and plastics waste. This type of waste thus needs to be properly managed so as to avoid negative impacts on the environment. It is here that the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Certification comes to use. In this article, we will highlight the need to have an EPR certificate for office waste management, EPR Registration and explain how an EPR consultant can help.
EPR Certificate means that a business organisation engaging in the production of products which will generate wastes after its useful life must take environmental responsibility in the collection, recycling, and Disposal of such wastes. According to the EPR framework, PIBOs are required to agree on the assumption of post-consumer waste cost during the product’s entire life.
For offices, this therefore translates to mean that a business is legally required to dispose of waste within its premises through recycling. Having an EPR Certificate is not only effective in disposing waste in the office but also compliant to the government sustainable initiatives.
The EPR Registration process is for those firms that would like to be issued with an EPR Certificate.
The first process of the EPR Registration procedures consist of evaluating the amount and variety of waste produced in your office. This encompasses sorting the wastes into groups for instance computer waste, paper waste, plastic waste and the rest.
This section clearly establishes that it is only advantageous to engage a qualified EPR Consultant when dealing with the issues of EPR Registration. An EPR Consultant will be in a position to explain the various requirements based on the type of waste generated in your office and on getting registered.
The next step involves processes of preparing all the documents needed for EPR Registration. This involves offering information on the quantity of waste produced, the approaches used in recycling of the waste, and steps that have been instituted towards environmentally appropriate disposal of waste.
However, after preparation of the documentation, it has to be presented to the appropriate body upon set regulations. This is an important step because it is frustrating to leave gaps in the documents or make mistakes that can result in a delayed issue of the EPR Certificate.
Upon submission, your regulatory authority will assess the submission that you have made. In the same way, upon fulfilment of all the described requirements, the authority decided on granting the EPR Certificate. This certificate goes to show that your office is in complete conformity with the EPR regulations on the management of wastes.
An EPR Consultant is one of the significant factors in the correct organisation of the work on waste management in an office environment. Here’s how an EPR Consultant can assist your business:
