We assist with National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) producer registration, Kenya Extended Producer Responsibility Organization (KEPRO) membership applications, and ongoing Monthly Volume Declarations (MVDs). Our team reviews your documents, assists with the applications and supports your monthly reporting.
How the process works
- Prepare your documents. We review your company information, products and packaging details.
- Complete NEMA registration. Obtain your NEMA Producer Registration Certificate.
- Apply for KEPRO membership. Submit the certificate and supporting company documents.
- Maintain ongoing compliance. Keep your membership current, submit monthly declarations and pay the applicable EPR charges.

We help you prepare and submit your producer registration application through NEMA’s eCitizen portal. Prepare the following information and documents:
- Certificate of Incorporation or business registration certificate.
- Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Personal Identification Number (PIN) certificate.
- Details of the goods, products and packaging introduced into the Kenyan market.
- Relevant product certification, including Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) certification or other applicable conformity documents, depending on your products.

| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| One-off government producer registration fee | KSh 5,000 |
| Additional portal access charge | KSh 50 |
| Total NEMA portal payment | KSh 5,050 |
KEPRO membership application support
If you choose the Kenya Extended Producer Responsibility Organization (KEPRO) as your packaging Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO), we assist with the membership application once you have your NEMA Producer Registration Certificate. KEPRO determines membership and the applicable category. The supporting documents are:
- Company KRA PIN certificate.
- Certificate of Incorporation or business registration certificate.
- NEMA Producer Registration Certificate.
Annual Supporter membership fee: KSh 5,800, comprising KSh 5,000 plus 16% Value Added Tax (VAT). The Supporter rate applies to eligible members under KEPRO’s classification. Other membership tiers attract higher fees.
Monthly packaging declarations and EPR payments
KEPRO members must submit Monthly Volume Declarations showing the packaging materials and quantities introduced into the Kenyan market. Declarations are due by the 15th of every month.
We help your business:
- Organise packaging records and quantities
- Prepare monthly declarations
- Track submission deadlines and applicable payments
Monthly EPR charges depend on the packaging material, the quantity declared and the prevailing KEPRO fee schedule. These charges are payable separately from the annual membership fee.
