PRO Authorization

Introduction
A ‘Producer Responsibility Organisation’ is a professional organisation that is authorised or funded collectively or individually by producers to collect and channel e-waste created at the ‘end-of-life’ of their products in order to ensure environmentally sound treatment of such e-waste. If a producer(s) engages PRO, PRO can assist the producer(s) in satisfying their legal obligations, such as collection targets, buy back systems, reverse logistics, e-waste channelization, collection centre setup, and so on.

A person with experience in the field of e-waste management can apply to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for registration of PRO by submitting an application along with the required papers.
