Tetra Pak East Africa and The Packaging Producer Responsibility Organisation (PAKPRO) launch their kick start project for the recovery of post-consumer Liquid Board Packaging

Tetra Pak East Africa in partnership with the Packaging Producer Responsibility Organization (PAKPRO) has launched a kick-start project to recover used beverage cartons in the country.

The partnership brings together two recyclers of liquid board packaging – Ramani Warehouse Limited (Thika) and Ekotech Limited (Nairobi) where collectors and aggregators can sell recovered used beverage cartons.

The Project targets to recover 1,500 metric tonnes of used beverage cartons which accounts for 30% of the produced liquid board packaging in the country.

The kick-start project seeks to create value for post-consumer liquid board packaging that will increase the economic opportunities for collectors and aggregators in the waste recovery sector.
