Are Kenyan startups and SMEs ready for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

This was one of the key issues discussed last week when our Coordinator joined a panel on Circular Economy at the 4th Edition of the Nairobi Startup Summit & Awards.

Speaking during the session, Mr. Andrew Sila shed light on the Polluter Pays Principle and what it means for startups and SMEs that manufacture, import, or place products on the Kenyan market. Although EPR regulations are still relatively new, many businesses remain unaware of the compliance requirements, including registration with Nema Kenya and membership in the appropriate Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO).

For importers, compliance is particularly important, as products may face challenges at the point of entry without the required certification.

Mr. Sila further explained that while EPR models draw from global best practices, Kenya's PROs are adapting these approaches to suit local needs and realities.

The conversation highlighted the importance of creating awareness and supporting businesses on their journey towards compliance and sustainability.

We value this shared commitment toward building cleaner, safer, and more environmentally responsible systems for future generations.

Haprok Kenya participated in the Sustainable Solid Waste Governance and Local Democracy Systems Conference held in Nairobi from 4th to 6th May 2026. The forum, convened by Centre for Environmental Justice And Development - CEJAD, the Swedish International Centre for Local Democracy (ICLD), and the Embassy of Sweden in Nairobi, brought together key stakeholders from government, civil society, academia, the private sector, and community groups to advance discussions on sustainable and inclusive waste governance in Kenya.

The conference provided an important platform for dialogue on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), local democracy systems, environmental justice, and the role of inclusive participation in shaping sustainable waste management policies and practices. Discussions also highlighted the importance of integrating informal sector actors into evolving waste management systems to support a just and effective circular economy transition.

As the Hazardous Waste Producer Responsibility Organisation of Kenya, HAPROK remains committed to strengthening collaboration and stakeholder engagement towards responsible hazardous waste management and effective EPR implementation in Kenya.

We appreciate the organizers and all participants for creating a meaningful platform for knowledge sharing and collective action towards a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future.
