Manufacturing Africa Supports Kenya’s Steps Towards Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulation

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) has been in the process of developing Kenya’s first Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulation. Such regulations have been developed and implemented across the world from as far back as 15 years ago. EPRs are based on the polluter pays principle with each producer having to pay a fixed amount per weight of product released into the market to cover the costs of collecting and recycling that product.
