How to process for EPR E Waste license

What is  EPR E waste License under E waste Management Rules

Ever since electronics manufacturing and import started in India, e-waste management rules were made in India in 2016. Now it has been said in those rules that whoever imports or manufactures electronics in India or survives by branding it like this, he himself has to take the responsibility of recycling the material or should I say that he has to take the responsibility of disposing of it. Now they will not take the responsibility because they are doing some work like a trader or the other. Such traders have to connect with the e-waste recyclers who will take the responsibility for the recycling.

Now, the question was how much E Waste recyclers will recycle the waste of these producer-importer and brand owners. Under the E- Waste Management Rules 2016 and the subsequent revised Waste Management Rules 2022, the Central Pollution Control Board stated that these PIBO's ( Producers Importers and Brand Owners)  must obtain an EPR license. This EPR license will define the percentage of e-waste to be recycled each year. EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility.
