Compliance to EPR legislation

Summary

Kenya is transitioning from a linear to a circular waste management model to address pollution, an effort previously hindered by 'joyriders' in voluntary schemes. The Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022 introduces mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for all producers, requiring them to manage the environmental impact of their products and packaging. Enforcement of these obligations is commencing immediately, with producers required to submit their EPR plans within two months of a public notice, even as detailed regulations are being finalized.
