Plastic Packaging Material in Kenya Management and control

Summary

Kenya is addressing plastic pollution by enhancing its regulatory framework. Following an effective 2017 ban on single-use plastic bags, which significantly reduced consumption and promoted reusable alternatives, the government has now gazetted the 2024 Environmental Management and Co-ordination Regulations. These new regulations aim to provide a comprehensive legal structure for managing plastic packaging materials from production to recycling, promoting a circular economy and sustainable waste management practices.
