What is Tyre EPR?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) means the responsibility of a Producer for the environmentally sound management of a product until the end of its life.
For waste tyres, the EPR framework places applicable responsibilities on Producers to ensure that waste tyres are appropriately managed through the prescribed system.
The objective is to encourage:
- Responsible waste tyre management
- Recycling and resource recovery
- Environmentally sound processing
- Reuse and retreading where applicable
- Proper channelization of waste tyres
- Circular economy practices
Who Needs EPR Tyre Registration?
As per CPCB's Waste Tyre EPR framework, the centralized portal covers three applicant categories:
1. Producer
Businesses that manufacture, sell or import applicable new tyres, as well as certain entities importing waste tyres, can fall under the Producer category.
2. Recycler
Entities involved in converting waste tyres into approved end products through environmentally sound processes.
3. Retreader
Entities involved in the retreading of worn-out tyres having suitable structural quality.
CPCB Portal Applicant Types:
Producer | Recycler | Retreader
If an entity falls under more than one category, CPCB states that it needs to register separately under each applicable category.
1. Producer – EPR Tyre Registration
The Producer category covers several types of businesses dealing with new or waste tyres.
According to CPCB's FAQ, a Producer includes an entity that:
- Manufactures and sells new tyres domestically
- Sells new tyres under its own brand manufactured by another manufacturer/supplier
- Sells imported new tyres domestically
- Imports vehicles fitted with new tyres
- Is an automobile manufacturer importing new tyres for new vehicles sold domestically
- Imports waste tyres
EPR Tyre Registration for Importers
Importers of new tyres and applicable waste tyre importers should assess their EPR obligations before carrying out the relevant activities.
CPCB specifically confirms that EPR obligations apply to Producers importing both new and used tyres.
2. Tyre Waste Recycler Registration
A Waste Tyre Recycler is an entity involved in converting waste tyres into approved end products through environmentally sound processes and with the required facilities.
CPCB identifies end products including:
- Reclaimed Rubber
- Crumb Rubber
- Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB)
- Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)
- Pyrolysis Oil or Char
A recycler with valid authorization from the concerned SPCB/PCC is also required to register on the centralized CPCB EPR portal.
NOZIX can assist with:
- Waste Tyre Recycler Registration
- CPCB EPR Portal Registration
- Documentation support
- EPR Certificate-related compliance
- Quarterly Returns
- Annual Returns
- Portal-related compliance assistance
Note: NOZIX provides consultancy and compliance services. We are not a waste tyre recycling facility.
3. Tyre Retreader Registration
Retreading refers to the process of renewing the tread and sidewall rubber of a worn-out tyre that has good structural quality.
The CPCB portal provides Retreader as a separate applicant category.
A registered Retreader can generate applicable Retreading Certificates under the prescribed EPR mechanism.
CPCB states that a Retreading Certificate can defer the corresponding EPR obligation by one year, while the obligation is ultimately extinguished only after end-of-life disposal through a registered Recycler.
NOZIX provides assistance for:
- Tyre Retreader Registration
- CPCB Portal Application
- Documentation
- Retreading-related compliance
- Retreading Certificate-related assistance
- Quarterly/Annual Return support
EPR Tyre Registration for New Tyres
For Producers of new tyres, EPR obligations are linked to the quantity of tyres manufactured or imported.
CPCB's framework specifies that, after the initial transition period, the EPR obligation is based on 100% of the quantity of new tyres manufactured or imported in the year two years prior (Y-2).
Therefore, accurate production and import data is important for determining applicable EPR obligations.
EPR for Waste Tyre Importers
Businesses importing waste tyres have specific EPR requirements.
CPCB states that the EPR obligation for a waste tyre importer in year Y is 100% of the quantity of tyres imported in year Y-1.
The CPCB FAQ also states that import of waste tyres for producing pyrolysis oil or char is prohibited.
Tyre EPR Registration Process
Step 1 – Business Assessment
We understand your business activity and determine whether you fall under:
Producer | Recycler | Retreader
Step 2 – Applicability Assessment
We review your tyre manufacturing, sales, import, recycling or retreading activities.
Step 3 – Document Preparation
Required business and regulatory information is compiled for the application.
Step 4 – CPCB Portal Application
The registration application is prepared and submitted through the centralized Waste Tyre EPR Portal.
Step 5 – Application Review
The application is processed through the applicable CPCB procedure.
Step 6 – Query/Clarification
If additional information or clarification is requested, assistance can be provided for the response.
Step 7 – Registration
After successful processing, the applicable registration is issued through the CPCB system.
Documents Required for Tyre EPR Registration
The exact documents depend on the applicant category and business activity.
Commonly required information may include:
- PAN
- GST Registration
- Company/Business registration documents
- Authorized person's details
- Business address
- Tyre manufacturing details
- Import details, where applicable
- Production/sales information
- Recycler facility details, where applicable
- Retreading facility details, where applicable
- SPCB/PCC authorization, where applicable
- Other documents prescribed by CPCB
CPCB states that the specific document requirements are provided in the registration instruction sheet on the centralized portal.
Tyre EPR Compliance After Registration
Obtaining EPR registration is only the beginning of the compliance process.
Producer Compliance
Producers are responsible for fulfilling their EPR obligations through the prescribed mechanism, including purchasing EPR certificates from registered recyclers. CPCB also requires applicable quarterly and annual returns through the portal.
Recycler Compliance
Recyclers are required to provide information regarding waste tyres used, end products produced and EPR certificates sold, along with applicable quarterly and annual returns.
Retreader Compliance
Retreaders are subject to registration and applicable reporting/certificate requirements under the waste tyre EPR framework.
Tyre EPR Certificate
CPCB assigns EPR obligations to Producers based on applicable tyre manufacturing or import quantities.
A Producer can purchase EPR certificates from a registered Recycler to fulfil applicable EPR obligations. A Producer may also purchase a Retreading Certificate from a registered Retreader for deferment of the corresponding obligation, subject to the prescribed conditions.
Current CPCB material identifies Waste Tyre EPR certificate categories associated with recycled outputs such as:
- Reclaimed Rubber – ReR
- Recovered Carbon Black – RCB
- Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen – CRMB
- Crumb Rubber – CR
- Pyrolysis Oil & Char – PO&C
Retreading Certificates are generated by registered Retreaders.
Tyre EPR Annual & Quarterly Compliance
Applicable registered entities need to maintain their compliance through the CPCB portal.
For Producers
- EPR obligation management
- EPR certificate purchase
- Quarterly returns
- Annual returns
- Production/import data
- Compliance records
For Recyclers
- Waste tyre quantity records
- End-product production information
- EPR certificate information
- Quarterly returns
- Annual returns
CPCB's FAQ specifically states that Producers and Recyclers have applicable quarterly and annual return requirements.
Tyre EPR for Automobile Manufacturers
Automobile manufacturers can also come under the Producer definition where they import new tyres for use in new vehicles sold domestically.
This makes Tyre EPR Registration for Automobile Manufacturers an important compliance area.
NOZIX can assist with applicability assessment and CPCB registration/compliance support.
EPR Tyre Registration for Importers
If your business imports:
New Tyres Used Tyres Vehicles fitted with New Tyres
you should assess your applicability under the Waste Tyre EPR framework.
CPCB specifically recognizes several of these activities within the Producer definition.
