The CPCB Producer Responsibility Organization deals with end-of-life product management and recycling. It is mandatory for producers to comply with policies formulated by the CPCB.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nCPCB has recently introduced the Producer Responsibility Organization. The\nProducers are made responsible for end-of-life management for their products,\nand the producers now can delegate this responsibility to the Producer\nResponsibility Organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Producer Responsibility Organization shall comply with the <strong>Environment (Protection) Act<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/cpcb.nic.in\/env-protection-act\/\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, other Waste Management Rules, and other rules, regulations, or guidelines made thereunder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPCB Producer Responsibility Organization is a professional organization that is handled individually or on a collective basis by the producers who finance it. The PRO handles the waste in an environmentally sound manner. It is responsible for collecting and channelizing waste of the products that have reached an end of life and are discarded. The PRO aids the producers so that they can meet the required target in the matter of the legislative guidelines set by the Government. It helps in processing wastes and converting them into useful material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
