Kenya Recyclers Statement On High Court Suspending NEMA EPR Implementation

We wish to inform you that the High Court has issued conservatory orders suspending the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulations 2024, following a petition filed by the Law Society of Kenya. This ruling has immediate implications for your operations, including a pause in the enforcement of the new licensing and compliance directives from NEMA. Members may continue operating under the previous regulatory framework until further notice.

We encourage you to review the full details, implications, and next steps outlined in our latest update. The full High Court petition is also available for your reference here. For any clarifications, feel free to reach out to us at info@kenyarecyclers.co.ke or call our hotline at 0737 526 588.

By,

Sylvia Ochiba,
Administration and Partnership Officer.
