Import licensing for plastic waste: entitlement and environmental compliance required before authorization to import. Import of plastic waste/scrap requires an import licence based on submission of industrial approval, valid pollution control clearances, certified details of recycling process and production equipment, and past consumption records. Entitlement is determined by capacity rules: generally 50% of installed machinery capacity (on a 20 hrs/day, 330 days/year basis) for non-acrylic wastes, while acrylic entitlement is based on best historical consumption; units set up after the policy cut-off are ineligible. Environment Ministry comments and all public notice conditions remain mandatory.
