KENYA · GUIDE 0770 · EDITION 4.2
Refill container resale in Kenya
Resell containers only for uses compatible with their traceable previous contents and condition.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional order: 40 traceable used 5 L detergent containers sold to a workshop for storing the same identified non-food detergent. Each keeps its source-content record and gets an explicit non-food/non-drinking-water label. Reject mixed unknown containers; no food-grade, sterile or universal chemical-compatibility claim.
Who is the first customer?
Household organizers, workshops and non-food storage users.
Test the offer
Start with a small clean traceable lot and explicitly exclude unsafe reuse.
