Do Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) falls under
the category of producers? If they do, do they have any
responsibilities under the Used Oil EPR framework?
OEMs of cars are not producers unless they buy and sell
lubrication oil themselves. They must sell it under their own
brand in the domestic market.
Which type of oils are exempted from Used Oil EPR
Target?
Some oils like white oil and process oils used in making
things are not covered. Also, greases and other lubricants
that don't leave used oil behind don't need EPR. But,
producers must still register on the EPR Portal.
What are the EPR targets for units established after 1st
April, 2024?
For units starting after 1st April, 2024, EPR rules start two
years after they open. This is from the end of the financial
year they started.
What are the responsibility of the Used oil importer under
the 5 | P a g e Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and
Transboundary Movement) Second Amendment Rules, 2023?
Used oil importers must do a few things. They need to register
on the portal, meet EPR targets, and file annual reports on
the portal.
Who are bulk generators?
Bulk generators are big producers like car makers, railways,
and defence. They also include transport companies, industrial
units, power companies, hotels, and restaurants. These
entities produce over 100 metric tonnes of used oil a year.
If an entity engages in multiple types of activities
(i.e., Producer, Recycler, Collection Agent, or Used Oil
Importer), what is the registration procedure?
If a company does more than one thing, like producing and
recycling, it must register for each activity separately
What is Recycling and Re-refining of Used oil?
Recycling means making new oil from used oil in a clean way.
Re-refining is cleaning used oil to make new oil. Both follow
rules set by the Central Pollution Control Board.
What is the validity of EPR certificates?
EPR certificates are good for two years from the end of the
financial year they were issued. After that, they are
automatically deleted from the EPR portal.
