IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT (EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (EPR)) REGULATIONS, 2024

Summary

Kenya faces the challenge of managing product waste throughout its life cycle and ensuring producers are responsible for end-of-life products. To address this, the government, through NEMA, has implemented the Sustainable Waste Management (EPR) Regulations 2024, which mandate producers and importers to register and take responsibility for their products. This initiative is currently in progress, with producers and importers required to comply with the new regulations and register with NEMA within six months of the gazettement date.
