- The EPR Annual Filing Return is usually submitted online through the respective CPCB or SPCB portal. Check the specific requirements and deadlines set by your state's pollution control board.
2. **Data Collection and Compilation:**
- Gather all necessary data related to the quantity of plastic waste generated, collected, recycled, and disposed of during the reporting period.
- Ensure accurate records of the types and amounts of plastic waste managed, including details of recycling agencies or facilities utilized.
3. **Completion of EPR Annual Return Form:**

### Hiring Agencies for Waste Plastic Material Recycling:
- While it's not compulsory to hire agencies specifically for recycling, producers are responsible for ensuring that the plastic waste they generate is effectively managed, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
- Many producers collaborate with registered recyclers or agencies specializing in plastic waste management to meet their EPR obligations efficiently.
