EPR and circular economy are no longer compliance.They are market access, lower cost, and first-mover advantage.
Clymaco runs multi-stream EPR for producers in India and carries Indian exporters through the EU, UK and US regimes. Strategy, filings, credit procurement and evidence, held together on our own EPR Control Portal.
Six practice areas. One system.
From a small exporter's first registration to a CXO's global EPR strategy, every engagement runs on the same register.
Which of these is you?
Eight situations we see every week. One of them is yours. The cards rotate on their own, or pick one yourself.
We export goods to Europe or the UK.

A method, not a pile of filings
Compliance run as a system: diagnosed, designed, deployed and defended.
Applicability and exposure mapped across every market and stream.
Registration, data and credit strategy planned before anything is filed.
Filings, credit procurement and evidence collection, executed.
Audits, notices and EC queries answered with documents on hand.
Most vendors sell you Deploy. The exposure sits in Diagnose and Defend.
Not registered, or registered in one stream when several apply.
Filings go in, numbers come from a spreadsheet nobody can reconstruct.
Tonnage is traceable to source data and survives a query.
Liability is forecast, credits are bought on a plan, evidence is on demand.
Compliance generates value: own take-back, recyclate supply, saleable surplus.
Most Indian producers we assess are at Level 1. Most think they are at Level 3.
Advice on top. A system underneath.
Six modules hold your registrations, data, filings, credits and evidence.
Consultants leave you a report. We leave you a system, and we run it with you.

What the market gets wrong
One technical position, stated plainly.
Most Indian exporters are being sold an EU registration they may not owe.
Under PPWR Article 3(1)(15), producer status attaches to whoever first makes packaging available on a member state's territory. Depending on your incoterms and your buyer's structure, that may be your importer, not you.
The exporter's exposure is real. It just sits in a different place: in the contract, in the buyer's questionnaire, in who carries the obligation on paper.
We run the producer status test before we sell you a registration.

What non-compliance really means
EPR is no longer paperwork. Across India, the EU, the UK and the US, regulators enforce it at customs, on marketplaces and in audits.
Lose access to markets
Customs can hold consignments. Regulators in the EU, UK and US can suspend sales until registration and reporting are complete.
Environmental Compensation
CPCB and State Pollution Control Boards levy EC on unfulfilled targets, computed per tonne and applied to past periods.
Liability discovered late
Understated returns do not disappear. They surface at audit, with past periods reconstructed and payable.
Lose the shelf
Amazon, Flipkart and export buyers request registration and certificates. Listings that cannot prove compliance come down.
The enforcement window has already closed
These are not upcoming deadlines. They are in force.
CPCB is recovering Environmental Compensation on past shortfalls. Marketplaces are delisting non-registered sellers.
India's EPR net spans eight streams, adding non-ferrous metal scrap and construction and demolition waste.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies across all 27 member states.
California SB 54 reporting and fee obligations begin. Oregon and Colorado are already invoicing producers.
Binding EU recycled content and reuse targets lock in design decisions being made today.
The only choice left: pay for compliance, or pay the penalty.
