We are pleased to invite you to our event in collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) – Centre of Entrepreneurship, “Navigating Plastic Regulations for SMEs: Insights from Nigeria, Kenya, and Beyond“, which will be held online on Zoom on May 20th at 2:00pm (CEST).
The global shift toward a circular economy is accelerating, driven by consumer demand, investor expectations, and regulatory changes. With Nigeria’s ban on single-use plastics (SUPs) taking effect in 2025, and similar policies already in place across Africa, including Kenya’s SUP ban since 2017, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must adapt quickly to remain competitive.
This workshop will equip SMEs and entrepreneurs with the knowledge and strategies needed to transition to circular models, minimise waste, and unlock new opportunities in the sustainability-driven marketplace.
Why attend?
- Stay ahead of regulations: Learn how to navigate and comply with new and existing regulations on single-use plastics and other sustainability measures.
- Competitive advantage: Gain insights into transitioning to circular business models, which can help your SME stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
- Expert insights: Benefit from the expertise of a local entrepreneur and industry leader who will share their knowledge and experiences.
Among the event’s expert speakers is Richard Kainika – E4Impact Alumnus, Founder of Pure Planet Recyclers Ltd, and Secretary General of the Kenya Association of Waste Recyclers. As a distinguished voice in the circular economy space, Richard will share his entrepreneurial journey, provide firsthand insights into Kenya’s plastic regulation landscape, and offer practical guidance for SMEs looking to turn sustainability challenges into business opportunities.
