The CPCB implemented the PRO (Producers Responsibilities Organization) regulation (Central Pollution Control Board). As we all know, the growing consumption of durable goods throughout the years is the key source of concern that contributes to environmental deterioration. As a result, waste management is a major source of concern for policymakers.

The rules are linked and based on the EPR concept (Extended producers responsibilities). This holds manufacturers accountable for the environmental effects of their products throughout their lives. In India, the PRO (Producers Responsibilities Organization) philosophy is characterised as E-waste management. Importers, brand owners, and producers should be liable for collecting E-waste, according to E-waste management legislation. PRO will take responsibility for e-waste generated in India and will play a vital role in collecting e-waste and handing it over to E-waste Recyclers, as well as ensuring postcompletion and annual compliance of PIBO’s.

The Producers Responsibility Organization assists producers with the following tasks, which are listed below:

Given The two sectors that defined the concept of PRO in India are as follows:

Plastic waste management regulations, 2016 and E-waste management rules, 2016 both require producers to collect plastic and electronic product trash. As a result, a system to collect waste generated by the products is required.

Both the agency and the producer offer information about their waste processing, storage capacity, waste material collection, and recyclers with whom they are working to dispose of such trash. To reach collection targets, a producer or an agency must be skilled in channelling plastics and excrement.

The challenge of eliminating E-waste in India is urgent, and everyone must be aware of it and make a commitment to eliminate the pollution caused by e-waste. The Indian government has begun efforts to reduce e-waste output. As a result, PRO was introduced (Producers Responsibility Organization).

The role of PRO is to assist producers in meeting their legal obligations by attaining E-waste collection targets, establishing E-waste collection facilities, and implementing E-waste collection awareness programmes. Agreements have been struck between the PRO and the producers, or with a consortium of producers, outlining the PRO’s role and duty for EPR management. E-waste in India is being driven up by producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs). Every year, producers, importers, and brand owners generate massive amounts of e-waste in India. Seelampur is one of the major e-waste markets, with almost 50,000 people living off of the city’s e-waste.

For the registration of PRO for both plastic and electronic waste management, an application form must be filed to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Unfortunately, the standards for E-waste management do not specify a minimum criteria for PRO registration. Yet, the following conditions are stated in plastic waste management policies.
