We Care for Your Success



The Indian Ministry of Environment (MoE) published guidelines for an expanded extended producer responsibility (EPR) program for plastic packaging within the country in February 2022, which is effective immediately. Applied to both pre- and post-consumer plastic waste, the program sets increasingly strict recycling targets for plastic producers, importers, and brand-owners starting at a minimum of 25% of plastics recycled this year.

Whereas categories for tubes are not explicitly set in the Indian scheme, it can reasonably be expected that plastic tubes will be regarded as Rigid Packaging as it is the case both in the EU (PRE) and in the US (APR).
