Looking for the leading EPR Consultant in Pune? Equal Consultancy Services provides end-to-end statutory authorization, recycling credit procurement, and annual environmental return filing under the guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB).
Equal Consultancy Services delivers corporate EPR Consultant in Pune compliance for Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs), automotive OEMs, electronics manufacturers, bulk consumers, and recyclers across the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMRDA). We manage HSN product categorization, plastic packaging audits, EV and industrial battery target fulfillment, e-waste authorization, and industrial lubricating used oil registrations.
Prevent costly container detention, demurrage penalties, and customs Bill of Entry holds at ICD Talegaon (Concor Dighi), Pune Air Cargo (PNQ Lohegaon), and connecting maritime terminals at JNPT Nhava Sheva. Our environmental regulatory specialists ensure rapid documentation scrutiny, MPCB CTE/CTO linkages, authenticated recycling credit trading, and annual compliance filing.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental regulatory mandate established by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and enforced through the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB Pune Regional Office). Under statutory EPR frameworks, every producer, importer, and brand owner manufacturing or distributing pre-packaged consumer goods, electronic equipment, automotive batteries, electric vehicle (EV) cells, or industrial lubricants in Pune is legally responsible for their post-consumer collection, recycling, and channelization.
An authentic CPCB EPR Certificate is an essential regulatory customs clearance document. Customs authorities at ICD Talegaon (Concor Dighi), Pune Lohegaon Air Cargo Complex, and JNPT Nhava Sheva require an active and verified CPCB EPR registration number tagged to the Bill of Entry on ICEGATE before issuing Out of Charge (OOC) delivery orders. Non-compliant shipments face severe Bill of Entry holds, detention penalties, MPCB show-cause notices, and heavy environmental compensation liabilities under the Polluter Pays principle.
Our Pune environmental compliance specialists provide complete centralized portal registration, credit procurement, and statutory audit representation across all four CPCB waste streams.
Mandatory certification for brand owners, FMCG manufacturers, packaging convertors, and importers covering Category I (Rigid), Category II (Flexible single/multi-layer), Category III (Multi-layered Plastic Packaging - MLPP), and Category IV (Compostable/Biodegradable).
Enforced under E-Waste (Management) Rules for IT parks in Hinjawadi and Kharadi, electronics OEMs, and hardware importers covering 106+ categories across Information Technology Equipment (ITEW), Consumer Electricals (CEEW), and solar PV cells.

Statutory obligation under Hazardous and Other Wastes (Used Oil EPR) notifications for automotive engine oil blenders, industrial machinery lubricant importers, and metalworking fluid distributors across Bhosari and Chakan.
