Recently Haprok Kenya joined Bancella, Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya, Mazao Na Afya, and the Mwea Rice Growers Multipurpose Co-operative Society, in an agricultural farmers' sensitization programme in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, ahead of the August planting season.

The programme reached farmers across Tebere, Nguka, Thiba, Wamumu, and Karaba, providing a timely platform to share knowledge on sustainable agricultural practices, the safe use of agricultural products, new zinc-containing products and bait formulations for the control of snails and slugs, as well as the responsible management of hazardous agricultural packaging and other hazardous waste.

The sessions successfully introduced farmers to HAPROK and its mandate, while strengthening their understanding of the importance of safely using agricultural products and properly disposing of pesticide containers and other hazardous agricultural waste. The engagement also promoted innovative agricultural products, strengthened collaboration among key stakeholders in the Mwea region, and laid a strong foundation for continued farmer sensitization and future Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) awareness initiatives.

Together, we are empowering farming communities with the knowledge and partnerships needed to protect our environment while promoting sustainable agricultural production.

Strengthening partnerships at the county level remains a key step towards effective Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) implementation.

Last week, the HAPROK team paid a courtesy call to the Nyandarua County Department of Environment, where we were received by the Director, Madam Miriam Muthoni, on behalf of the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Environment, Hon. Samuel Wachira.

The engagement focused on strengthening collaboration as we continue mapping collection centres across the county with the support of Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya and the Cereal Growers Association. We look forward to working closely with the County's environment team to enhance the collection and sustainable management of post-consumer hazardous packaging waste.

Together, we are building stronger county partnerships for a cleaner and more sustainable Kenya.

Last week, HAPROK hosted an EPR Plan Validation Workshop in Nairobi, bringing together our members, Nema Kenya, and key stakeholders across the hazardous waste value chain. The workshop provided an important platform to review our Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Plan and strengthen our shared commitment to responsible hazardous waste packaging management.

Guided by our consultant, Dr. Francis Oremo, participants reviewed HAPROK's four-year EPR Plan, which outlines our roadmap for helping members meet their EPR obligations through effective collection, recovery, and environmentally sound management of hazardous waste packaging. A discussion was also held on the proposed EPR fee structure as part of the broader implementation framework.

The successful validation of the HAPROK EPR Plan marks an important step towards coordinated implementation, providing a clear roadmap that will guide our activities, partnerships, and investments over the coming years.

As we move into implementation, our focus remains on expanding collection infrastructure and strengthening recovery systems. We are encouraged by the progress already being made, including the establishment of collection centres in partnership with Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya.

Together with our members and stakeholders, HAPROK remains committed to advancing practical and sustainable solutions for hazardous waste packaging and building a cleaner, more circular future for Kenya.

Our sincere appreciation to Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya for this recognition and for providing a valuable platform to engage with stakeholders from the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector.

The conference offered an excellent opportunity to create awareness on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations, showcase HAPROK's role in supporting producers to meet their EPR obligations, and strengthen partnerships that will drive sustainable management of hazardous product packaging.

At Haprok Kenya, we believe that collaboration is key to building a circular economy and protecting both public health and the environment. We look forward to continuing our partnership with PSK and other industry stakeholders as we work together towards a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable Kenya.

Thank you, HAPROK, a Bronze Sponsor of the recently concluded 46th PSK Annual Scientific Conference 2026, for your participation and commitment to advancing transformation and innovation towards attaining the highest attainable standards of health.

Strengthening Partnerships to Advance Safe Hazardous Waste Management

Haprok Kenya recently held a consultative meeting with the Kenya Flower Council (KFC) and Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya to explore opportunities for collaboration in strengthening the collection and environmentally sound management of hazardous packaging waste across the horticultural sector.

The discussions provided valuable insights into the Kenya Flower Council's existing collection centres and identified opportunities to leverage this network to improve access to safe collection and disposal services for hazardous packaging waste. The meeting also laid the groundwork for formalizing the partnership through a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with HAPROK proposed as the service provider for hazardous waste management.

Through strategic partnerships, we continue to build practical stewardship solutions that support producers, protect the environment, and advance the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Kenya.

Building Capacity for Sustainable Agriculture through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

Haprok Kenya was pleased to partner with Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya during the Mazao na Afya Agronomists Training Programme in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, to strengthen awareness of the Sustainable Waste Management Act, 2022 and the Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations, 2024.

The session equipped agronomists with practical knowledge on producer responsibility, stewardship of empty pesticide containers, safe container return, and the importance of collection systems in advancing Kenya's circular economy.

Agronomists play a critical role in promoting responsible post-consumer management of agricultural packaging waste by supporting farmer awareness and behaviour change.

We appreciate aak-GROW and the Mazao na Afya Programme for the collaboration as we continue working together to strengthen stewardship and EPR implementation across the agricultural sector.

Last week, Haprok Kenya participated in the External Stakeholders’ Forum for the 3rd Nairobi Health Scientific Conference 2026, convened by the Nairobi City County Health Department under the theme “𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.”

Our contribution focused on the role of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in strengthening environmental health systems, particularly through safe management of hazardous and hazardous-contaminated packaging waste from healthcare, agriculture, chemicals, petroleum and related sectors.

As Kenya advances the One Health agenda, HAPROK remains committed to working with counties, regulators, producers and technical partners to protect people, animals and the environment through practical waste stewardship systems.

Building Momentum Towards a Stronger Hazardous Waste Collection Network.

Yesterday, Haprok Kenya convened its 4th Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting to review progress, share insights, and shape the next phase of implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for hazardous waste in Kenya.

As we continue to strengthen our collection network, we are encouraged by the progress made so far. Through our collaboration with Aak-GROW/CropLife Kenya, collection centres have already been established to support the recovery of Empty Pesticide Containers (EPCs), enabling the collection of over 900 kg to date, a significant step towards improving the environmentally sound management of hazardous waste.

Building on this momentum, HAPROK is now engaging additional partners to expand collection infrastructure beyond the agro-inputs sector, creating greater accessibility for producers across all hazardous waste sub-sectors covered under our mandate.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to review ongoing initiatives, receive expert guidance from the Technical Advisory Committee, and ensure that our implementation approach remains practical, collaborative, and aligned with the needs of our members and stakeholders.

We sincerely appreciate the continued commitment of our members, partners, and the TAC as we work together to strengthen EPR implementation and advance sustainable hazardous waste management in Kenya.
