Certifications issued by governmental agencies like the Central\nPollution Control Board guarantees that a product complies with an established\nstandard or a set of conditions defined by the certifier. CPCB has, from time\nto time, amended the Certification process for compostable Plastic sellers, the\nlatest of which was notified by the CPCB in September 2020. An online\napplication portal (e-governance portal) was also launched for the\nCertification of compostable plastic sellers in June 2021. The seller of\ncompostable plastic can apply to CPCB for the registration in Form-B, along with\nthe prescribed documents and details elaborated below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#SOP_For_Issuing_Certificate_to_the_Sellers_of_Compostable_Plastic_Bags\" >SOP For Issuing Certificate to the Sellers of Compostable Plastic\nBags<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#Documents_Required_for_CPCB_Certification_for_Compostable_Plastic_Sellers\" >Documents Required for CPCB Certification for Compostable Plastic\nSellers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#SOP_for_CPCB_Certification_of_Compostable_Plastic_Sale\" >SOP for CPCB Certification of Compostable Plastic Sale<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#Monitoring_Of_Compostable_Plastic_Sellers_after_Certification_by_CPCB\" >Monitoring Of Compostable Plastic Sellers after Certification by CPCB<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#Cancellation_of_EPR_Authorisation_of_a_CPCB_Certified_Compostable_Plastic_Seller\" >Cancellation of EPR Authorisation of a CPCB Certified Compostable Plastic Seller<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certification-for-compostable-plastic-sellers\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SOP_For_Issuing_Certificate_to_the_Sellers_of_Compostable_Plastic_Bags\"><\/span>SOP For Issuing Certificate to the Sellers of Compostable Plastic\nBags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For\ncertification of Compostable plastic bag selling, a seller of compostable\nplastic products can apply to CPCB for the registration in Form B.<\/li><li>Details\nlike the name of the product and the quantity needed by the seller have to be\nquoted.

It\u2019s a challenging task to reduce, recycle and reuse such products, given their cost-effective nature (the cost involved in recycling is simply more than the cost of producing a new one). It is imperative that the manufacturing and sale of environmentally friendly substitutes like compostable and biodegradable plastics are introduced into the economy. Given the Indian consumer\u2019s love for carrying bags (polythene bags) and no cheaper option available, this market is destined to grow. So, introducing an eco-friendly substitute like compostable plastic bags can be considered an intelligent approach to containing plastic pollution in the country. This also means that this market has massive potential in the coming future. Considering India\u2019s stance on Sustainable Development and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, it is a profitable deal to invest in this sector as a manufacturer, distributor or seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read Our Article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/cpcb-certificate-for-compostable-plastic-manufacturers\/\">CPCB Certificate for Compostable Plastic Manufacturers<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, only about 1&nbsp;% of plastic and plastic products on the global market are considered bio-based, compostable and biodegradable.
