Breaking: NEMA Shuts Down Three Factories

NEMA Shuts Down Three Factories for Violating Environmental Regulations

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has taken action by shutting down three pyrolysis factories across Kenya for failing to comply with environmental regulations, specifically for not conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

An EIA is an essential process that assesses the potential environmental, social, and economic effects of a proposed project to ensure that it is sustainable and does not cause harm to the environment.

In a statement released on Friday, March 7, NEMA revealed that it had ordered the closure of one factory located in South C, Nairobi, and two others in Samburu and Kilifi counties.

These factories were found to be in violation of several environmental standards.

They were responsible for significant fugitive emissions, poor management of black carbon, and mishandling of wires extracted from tyres, all of which can have detrimental effects on both the environment and human health.

As part of the closure, the Authority issued improvement notices to the affected factories, instructing them to conduct thorough assessments of their emissions and the air quality around their facilities.

These evaluations will help determine the environmental impact of their operations and whether corrective measures are needed to bring them into compliance with environmental standards.

NEMA further clarified that the factories in Samburu were involved in recycling iron and processing waste tyres using pyrolysis, a process that requires careful management to prevent harmful emissions.

The closure highlights the increasing need for factories to adhere to environmental guidelines to prevent pollution and protect the natural environment.

This move comes just a month after NEMA shut down a wood processing factory in Nakuru for similar environmental violations.

The factory was found to be emitting toxic fumes into the air, having failed to obtain an Emissions License and not implementing the necessary pollution control measures, as required under the Air Quality Regulations 2024.

The company in Nakuru was ordered to cease all operations until it complies with the required environmental standards.

This was after an inspection revealed fugitive emissions coming from various leaks in the facility’s boiler area, raising concerns among the surrounding community about the health risks posed by such pollution.

NEMA has continued to emphasize the importance of factories across the country adhering to environmental regulations to ensure a safe and sustainable environment for all.
