Kenya Plastics Pact Flexible Design Guidelines
The Kenya Plastics Pact (KPP) provides comprehensive design guidelines aimed at transforming the country’s approach to flexible plastic packaging through a circular economy framework. The document highlights the critical environmental and health risks caused by Kenya's low recycling rates, which currently see the majority of plastic waste ending up in landfills or polluting ecosystems. To address these challenges, the pact outlines a 2030 Roadmap with specific targets for eliminating unnecessary single-use plastics and ensuring all packaging is reusable or recyclable. The guidelines offer technical insights into the composition of monolayer and multilayer materials, emphasizing the difficulty of processing complex laminates. By engaging stakeholders across the supply chain, from manufacturers to waste collectors, the KPP seeks to standardize sustainable practices and improve waste management infrastructure. Ultimately, the source serves as a strategic manual for transitioning Kenyan industries from a linear "take-make-waste" model toward a closed-loop system.
