Chapter 3: Generation & Transfer of Certificates by Plastic Waste Processors

3.0 Background
This chapter I comprises of two Sections
• Section 1: Physical Verification of PWPs by SPCBs/PCCs
• Section 2: Generation & Transfer of Certificates by PWPs
3.1 Physical Verification of PWPs
Physical verification of PWPs is to be done by SPCBs/PCCs after
Registration of the PWP on the EPR Portal. PWP will be able to generate
certificates only after approval of physical verification by the respective
SPCB/PCC. The feature will remain disabled till the PWP facility gets
physically verified.
SPCB/PCC (Designated officer) will get verification request on their login
page as soon as they grant registration to a PWP. SPCB/PCC (DO) has to
assign the PWP to concern SPCB/PCC (RO) for field verification. SPCB/PCC
(RO) to conduct physical verification of PWP premises and verify facility as
per a checklist (Table 1) and send the recommendations to SPCB/PCC (DO).
SPCB/PCC (DO) can approve or reject verification of PWPs based on RO’s
recommendations. It is to be noted that
“Conversion factor” required for assessment of input plastic waste processed
based on output quantity is to be confirmed by RO in this section.
The certificate generation feature will get enabled for PWP upon approval of
physical verification. If SPCB/PCC rejects the application, then the certificate
generation feature will not be enabled. PWP will then be required to upgrade
their facility at their end. Once the PWP is ready for verification, they can re-
submit request for the verification process through the portal.PWP will get the
status of the verification process through SMS and email notifications. The
Physical Verification Workflow is illustrated in Figure 3.1

Officer (DO) (Figure 3.2)
Step 2: Assignment of Registered PWP by DO to concerned RO for Physical verification
(Figure 3.3)
Step 3: Conduction of onsite physical verification by RO & Online Filing of Checklist by RO
(Figure 3.4 &3.5)
Step 4: Communication of Recommendations of RO to DO (Figure 3.6)
Step 5: Approval /Rejection of Physical Verification of PWPs by DO based on RO’s
recommendations (Figure 3.7)

3.2 Generation & Transfer of EPR Certificates by PWPs
This section will essential consist of various segments as given below:

(a) Plastic Waste Procurement
(b) Production
(c) Inventory & Sales
(d) Wallet : Certificate Potential, Certificate Generation & Transfer
The PWP shall provide requisite details in - Procurement & Production segments – based
on which inventory of items shall be generated. Sales items can be selected from the

inventory and Certificate generation potential shall be generated by applying conversion

factor (confirmed during the physical verification), which shall be reflected in the wallet. The
PWPs can generate certificates of various denominations of 1, 10, 50 , 100 , 500 & 1000 T
based on requirement and transfer it to PIBOs in the Certificate Generation & Transfer
Section. The information flow of Module 3 is given in Figure 3.8
This section covers different categories of PWPs including Recyclers, Waste to Energy
Plants, Waste to Oil plants and Co-processors.

Chapter 4: Urban Local Bodies
4.0 Background
The Plastic Waste Management Rules cast the responsibility of collection,
transportation and disposal of plastic waste on the local bodies. The Local bodies can
engage in the EPR framework following the two mechanisms described below:
(i) Local Bodies provide resources (Plastic Waste / Material Recovery facility/
Transportation facility etc.) to PWPs. PWPs issue certificates to Local Bodies in lieu
of facilities provided. Local Bodies can trade these certificates with PIBOs to fulfill
their EPR liability
(ii) Local Bodies can set up PWP facility and generate EPR Certificates which can be
transferred to PIBO to fulfill their EPR liability
In this context, provision for creating Login Credential for State Nodal Officers by CPCB
and creation of Login Credentials for ULBs by State Nodal officers has been made on
the EPR Portal. Further, the following provisions have been made on the EPR Portal
Mechanism 1:
• Procurement of EPR Certificates from PWP
• Transfer of EPR Certificate to PIBO
Mechanism 2
• Registration as PWP
• Generation of EPR Certificate
• Transfer of EPR Certificate to PIBO
The details of the aforementioned provisions have been detailed in this section
4.1 State Nodal Officer Login
The Login Credentials of the State Nodal officer shall be created by CPCB. The same
can be used by State Nodal Officer for login to the Portal (Figure 4.1). Details of the
Registered ULBs can be viewed on the State Nodal Officer’s dashboard (Figure 4.2)

4.4 Mechanism 1: EPR Credit exchange with PIBOs/PWPs

The Wallet (Figure 4.6A) gives the different category certificates available with the
Local Body. The ULB can transfer certificates in this section. PWPs can transfer EPR
Certificates to ULB in lieu of services provided by ULB to the PWP. Figure 4.7
illustrates certificate transfer from PWP and Figure 4.8 highlights the corresponding
increase in the EPR certificate in the specified category. ULB can transfer the EPR
Certificates to PIBOs (Figure 4.9) and there is a corresponding decrease in the EPR
Certificate in the specified category which has been highlighted in Figure4.10. For
details of certificate transfer, Chapter 3 on Certificate generation and transfer may

consumption in each category (Figure 5.28 & 5.29)
Figure 5.28: Annual filling of PIBOs

Figure 5.29: Filling of total plastic consumption
5.6.2 State-wise PW Generation

PIBOs are required to fill state-wise plastic waste generated through out the year by
clicking “Add new” and providing statewise /category wise pre &post consumer plastic
packaging waste generated as well as the recycled plastic content in the packaging.
The user has to click on “Confirm” to submit the information (Figure 5.30)
Figure 5.30: Filling of state wise, category wise PW generation
5.6.3 Brand Owner (Cat 1 Plastic Packaging)

Brand-owner using Cat I are further required to provide information related to
pre & post –consumer plastic packaging waste generated in two categories viz.
> 0.9 L &< 4.9 L & Containers > 4.9 L of Cat-I. (Figure 5.31)

Figure 5.31: Add Cat I sub-category details
The user needs to confirm the details entered after filling in the requisite details
at the year end closing
5.6.4 Check and Balance:
 Category wise Details provided in the Annual consumption should be equal to
the total state-wise and category wise ( Cat-II,III &IV) plastic waste generation.
 Total quantity of recycled plastic used in pre and post plastic packaging should
be equal to the quantity of recycled plastic material procured.
 Total Quantity of Pre and post plastic waste generated in subcategory ( Cat I for
BOs) for Containers > 0.9 L &< 4.9 L & Containers > 4.9 L of Cat-I shall be
equal to the statewise total quantity of Cat-I provided.
 20% variation is permissible between Total plastic packaging quantity
procurement and total Plastic waste generation (Pre +Post).
5.6.5 Submission of Annual Filings
Click on “ Submit” button to for final submission of Annual Filings.
5.7. Generation of Reuse / Use of Recycled Plastics (URep) Certificates

Reuse / Use of Recycled Plastics (URep) potential shall be generated after the
Annual Filing details (Section 3.6) are confirmed
5.7.1 Reuse Certificates
Reuse potential is calculated using the following formula as per EPR
Guidelines
Reuse = Total Sales - Procurement + Pre-consumer waste

For eg: If Total sales for a BO is 100, Procurement is 80 T and Pre-

consumer waste is 10 T them Qty of plastic reused-= 100-80+ 10= 30 T.
A total potential of 30 T (Cat I Reuse) shall be reflected in the Wallet
Section. Certificates can be generated /transferred using this potential
5.7.2 URep Certificates
URep certificates shall be generated based on the recycled plastic
content in the plastic packaging sold in the market. Till 2025, there are no
EPR target for URep. Hence entire quantity of recycled plastic shall get
reflected in the Wallet as potential for URep certificates. Beyond 2025,
the mandated EPR Target shall get deducted and the balance shall get
reflected as URep potential. For example if PIBO is using 100 T of
recycled plastic and beyond 2025 its EPR Target (URep) is 50 T , then
before 2025, its URep Potential shall be 100 T and beyond 2025 the
corresponding potential shall be 50 T.
5.8 Annual report:
Provision for filing Annual Report for the current financial year will enabled on April 01
of the next financial year. PIBOs are required to submit Annual report by June 30 every
financial year, post which EC as per EC guidelines prepared by shall be levied. Annual
report shall be Auto filled by July 15.
The annual report shall have the following sections
 Overview of Procurement / Sales: Annual category wise plastic
packaging/raw material procurement, plastic packaging sales, reuse and use
of recycled plastic quantity shall be displayed in this section. The data in this
section will be auto generated from the Annual Filing Section
 Compliance Status: Category-wise EPR Target, EPR Certificates achieved,
available Potential and likely EC to be levied shall be displayed in this section.
The data in this section will be auto generated from the Annual filing Section as
well as the certificates generated/ procured by the PIBO (Figure 5.32). The
user shall have the option of procuring additional EPR Certificates from
PWP/PIBOs to reduce the shortfall in EC target.
Figure 5.32: Annual filling section of PIBOs
