Extended Producer Responsibility consultants in Gujarat.

Advisory work in Gujarat ranges over belts that barely resemble one another. In the south, the Golden Corridor climbs the highway north from Sarigam and Vapi past Ankleshwar, Jhagadia and Dahej, where makers of dyes, pesticides, intermediates and drugs stand fence to fence. The centre carries refining and engineering; Saurashtra carries foundries, ceramics, brass and the refinery town of Jamnagar; Kutch has become a coast of ports, power plants and new renewable parks. Over all of them sits one board (GPCB, headquartered in Gandhinagar) and scores of listed groups whose reporting reaches back into every belt.

EPR in Gujarat begins upstream. Much of the country's polymer is made in the refinery and cracker complexes of Jamnagar, Hazira and Dahej, and the state's converters, drug fillers and food brands turn it into packs with a name printed on them. Solar module makers around Mundra, Surat and the corridor are covered by the e-waste rules' provisions for photovoltaic panels, which ask producers to register and plan for panels at end of life. Tyre, battery and electronics makers add separate regimes. When one group owns plants in different belts, the duty follows the product, not the plant. The work is carried from our base in the region by named people, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
