CPCB publishes SOP for E-Waste Recycler registration and verification on the EPR portal (registration validity, verification timeline, revocation triggers)

CPCB published an SOP detailing information/documentation required for registration of e-waste recyclers on the portal under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The SOP outlines required documents and operational evidence (e.g., consents/authorizations, geotagged video of installed machinery), states registration validity (5 years), describes CPCB verification within 3 months of granting registration (physical or video conference), and highlights revocation triggers for false information/wilful concealment/irregularities (including potential EC implications). This affects recyclers’ onboarding readiness and producers’ due diligence when sourcing EPR certificates from registered recyclers.
