Starting 5th May 2025, NEMA will begin implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations under the Sustainable Waste Management Act (L.N. 176 of 2024).

1/ A KES 150 levy will be introduced per item of packaging. 🧵 Image
2/ What’s Affected?

The levy applies to nearly everything: plastic, glass, aluminium, paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, textiles, and composite packaging.

Think food wrappers, medicine boxes, cosmetic bottles, even sanitary pad packaging all fall under this. Image
3/ NEMA says the KES 150 will apply to "standard packaging" but that term isn’t clearly defined.

For example, if Panadol tablets are packed in strips, which come in boxes, the boxes packed into cartons, and the cartons stacked onto pallets - what exactly is considered the chargeable item?

Is it the strips, the box, the carton, or the pallet?
