Kenya is a leader when it comes to national commitments and policies to reduce plastic pollution. In addition to the National Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022, Kenya has also drafted extended producer responsibility regulations, which operate according to the “polluter pays” principle and will obligate private companies that produce plastic goods for market consumption to take responsibility for all plastic waste management including collection, sorting, and recycling. These regulations call for the establishment of Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) which will be responsible for ensuring all private companies in Kenya adhere accordingly.
