Fact with : Today's trash can become tomorrow's problem—or tomorrow's resource. Sort, recycle, and protect our planet.

Did You Know? Much of the trash we throw away can be recycled, reused, or composted instead of ending up in dumpsites

KAWR represented by our Secretary General Richard Kainika participated in a validation workshop on the draft Kenya ODS and F-Gas Banks Management Strategy, contributing to discussions on strengthening national approaches to managing ozone-depleting substances and fluorinated gases.

The workshop underscored the increasing relevance of these substances within the waste management sector. Refrigerants contained in end-of-life equipment represent a significant and often under-addressed waste stream, with substantial implications for environmental protection and climate mitigation if not properly managed.

Key insights from the engagement included:
• The growing accumulation of refrigerants in equipment constitutes a future waste management challenge requiring proactive intervention
• Effective systems must integrate collection, recovery, recycling, and environmentally sound destruction mechanisms
• Strengthening technical capacity across the waste management value chain remains essential for sustainable implementation

These discussions reaffirm the critical role of the waste management sector in addressing emerging and complex waste streams. Integrating ODS and F-gas management into existing systems presents an opportunity to enhance environmental outcomes while advancing broader climate objectives.

This landmark judgment in ELC Petition No. E026 of 2024 is more than a win — it’s a moment of reflection.

It reminds us that behind every policy and legal battle are the lives and livelihoods of waste recyclers who play a critical, yet often overlooked, role in protecting our environment.

This victory shines a light on their dignity, their rights, and their place in shaping a more just and sustainable Kenya.

As we celebrate, we are also called to keep pushing for systems that are inclusive, fair, and environmentally responsible.

KAWR has formally submitted its memorandum on the Finance Bill 2026, reinforcing our commitment to shaping a policy environment that truly enables the recycling and waste management sector.

Our submission highlights a critical gap: while the sector is legally recognized under the Sustainable Waste Management Act, 2022 and other key national and international frameworks as a key driver of a circular economy, this has not been adequately reflected in the current fiscal framework.

Some of the proposed targeted reforms includes;
• VAT exemptions and zero-rating for recycling equipment and inputs
• Tax incentives to support green investments in waste management
• Relief on import-related levies for essential machinery
• Recognition of recycling as a strategic green industry
These measures are necessary steps to unlock investment, reduce operational costs, and strengthen Kenya’s transition towards a sustainable and circular economy.
Our advocacy continues to evolve. Beyond regulatory frameworks, we are now actively engaging in financial and fiscal policy spaces to ensure that economic systems work for the sector.

We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this national process, as highlighted in Parliament’s recent public participation report: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14iUECucppt/

As the world commemorates this year’s World Oceans Day, it is imperative that we reflect on the far-reaching consequences of our individual choices, which too often impact ecosystems and species that bear no responsibility for them; our oceans and the rich biodiversity they sustain.

Our everyday decisions, particularly in relation to waste management, play a critical role in determining the health and resilience of marine environments. Indeed, conscious and responsible personal action remains the most effective pathway toward addressing the escalating pressures placed on our oceans.

Ultimately, as with all meaningful change, it is our deliberate and sustained commitment to responsible practices that will define our contribution to the solution.

Kenya Association Of Waste Recyclers is participating in a stakeholder engagement convened by Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) on the Proposed Standards Regulations, 2026 at Weston Hotel.

The discussions cover three draft regulations: the Standards (Product Certification) Regulations, 2026, which set out how products are certified to meet Kenyan standards; the Standards (Testing and Designation of Laboratories) Regulations, 2026, which provide the framework for recognition and operation of testing laboratories; and the Standards (Scientific and Industrial Metrology) Regulations, 2026, which govern measurement accuracy, calibration, and quality assurance systems used across industry.

These regulations are important to the recycling sector because recycled materials are increasingly being used as industrial raw material inputs. Decisions on certification, testing, and quality assurance can directly affect how recycled materials and products are recognized, accepted, and traded in the market.

Kenya Association of Waste Recyclers is participating to advocate for the recognition of recycled raw materials as legitimate industrial inputs, recognition of products derived from recycled materials, and appropriate standards and labelling frameworks that support their wider use.
