Across most waste streams, producers can meet part of their EPR obligation not only by collecting waste themselves, but by purchasing verified EPR certificates (credits) generated when certified recyclers process end-of-life material.
What is an EPR certificate?
When a registered recycler processes a tonne of waste, the CPCB portal issues an EPR certificate for that quantity. Producers buy these certificates to offset their own targets — turning a recycling liability into a transparent transaction.
How trading works
- A registered recycler generates certificates on the CPCB portal
- A producer purchases the quantity it needs
- The certificate is transferred through the portal
- The producer's EPR target is offset accordingly
Doing it safely
- Only deal with registered, authorised recyclers
- Verify certificate authenticity before purchase
- Keep an audit trail for inspections
GreenLoop sources, verifies and transfers EPR credits across every waste category through its authorised recycler network — so your offsets are genuine and audit-ready.
