PAKPRO’s path to inspire a shift in consumer and industry behaviour - a mission to promote sustainable packaging practices

Between October 30 and December 11, 2024, the Global Action Partnership for Extended Producer Responsibility (GAP for EPR) and the GreenTechKnowledge Hub of the Export Initiative for Environmental Protection are hosting six sessions of our webinar series “PROs around the Globe”! Each session features a different organisation, presenting their structures, challenges, and Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) set-up.  

Producer Responsibility Organizations are the system operator of an EPR system. This makes them the “spider in the web” and one of the most important actors in its implementation. This series will discuss the responsibilities of PROs as well as their structure, set-up, and processes in their country-specific context. 

In the second session of our webinar series “PROs around the globe” Joyce Gachugi-Waweru will represent and introduce the Packaging Producer Responsibility Organization Limited (PAKPRO) from Kenya. PAKPRO, originally established as Kenya PET Recycling Company Limited in 2018, operates as a business member organization dedicated to uniting industry efforts in regulating post-consumer packaging. Its objectives include raising awareness among consumers on circularity of packaging, developing innovative collection and recycling models, creating strategic partnerships and advocating for policies that promote a circular economy.

🌱This webinar series "PROs Around the Globe" is organized by the GAP for EPR and the GreenTechKnowledgeHub of the Export Initiative for Environmental Protection. We are excited to host a total of six insightful webinars featuring different organisations sharing their best practices, challenges and PRO facilities.
