Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has transitioned from a future policy target to a strict regulatory mandate. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has introduced strict updates requiring tyre manufacturers and brand owners to account for their end-of-life tire footprint.
Key Takeaways of the 2026 Mandate
- Graduated Targets: In 2026, tire manufacturers are required to buy recycling certificates representing up to 100% of their baseline sales volume from previous years.
- Strict Audit Trail: Certificates can only be issued by registered, CPCB-compliant recycling entities that convert tires into registered commodities (like pyrolysis oil or carbon char).
- Heavy Penalties: Non-compliance will trigger environmental compensation charges that exceed the market cost of certificates.
