LEVERAGING ON EPR TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT

Summary

Kenya is tackling significant environmental pollution, particularly in urban rivers, driven by a linear economy and low recycling rates. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is implementing an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, enforcing compliance on hundreds of companies to manage their product waste and clean up polluted sites. This ongoing initiative, which includes engaging local communities in waste collection and establishing Material Recovery Facilities, aims to transition the country towards a circular economy.
