Kenyan manufacturers are urging the government to review Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) charges following a court ruling that lifted conservatory orders shielding them from compliance.

• Manufacturers are required to pay KES 150 per item for products and packaging under the EPR scheme, particularly for imported goods.
• Key organizations involved include the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), the Kenya Extended Producer Responsibility Organization (KEPRO), and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
• Manufacturers express concern over the lack of clarity in the regulations regarding the definition of a "unit item", which could lead to inconsistent or inflated charges and potentially be passed on to consumers.
