3.?EPR Certificates

• The validity of the EPR certificate shall be two years from the end of the financial year in which it was generated.
• Each EPR certificate shall have a unique number containing year of generation, code of end-product, recycler code and a unique code.
• The EPR certificates shall be in the denominations of 100, 200, 500 and 1000 MT or as decided by CPCB.
• ?The quantity eligible for generation of EPR certificates shall be calculated by the following formula?

• ‘‘Conversion Factor’’ (Cf) means units of waste tyre needed to produce one unit of each end-product of recycling. ‘Cf’ for each end-product shall be determined by CPCB.
