@NemaKenya Director General Dr. Mamo B. Mamo, EBS has directed Kenya Producer Responsibility Organization (KEPRO) to convene a validation workshop involving their relevant value chain actors to build consensus on the proposed EPR fee structure in line with the Sustainable Waste Management (Extended Producer Responsibility) Regulations, 2024.
NEMA has been implementing EPR regulations that obligates manufacturers and importers to manage the entire lifecycle of their products including post-consumer waste directly or through Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs).
The EPR fee is meant to facilitate collection, transportation, recovery, recycling and environmentally sound management of post-consumer waste. Therefore, continued collection of EPR fees by KEPRO under non-compliant framework has hindered this initiative and undermines objectives of EPR regulations. @kepro_ke

Did you know? Waste and climate change are deeply linked! Proper waste management cuts pollution, conserves resources, and boosts community health. Recycling reduces carbon emissions and protects natural resources, but not all waste is easily recyclable.
