Vape Recycling

In the UK, it's estimated that every week, around 1.3 million single-use vapes are improperly disposed of in general waste.

This is due to confusion about how to recycle vapes, which can lead to them being sent to landfill or thrown in regular bins. However, we can prevent this by using appropriate disposal methods.

Vaping devices are regulated under strict WEEE waste guidelines and should be taken to designated recycling centers or electrical waste bins. This is important because vapes contain hazardous materials that could harm the environment. Additionally, not recycling them correctly can result in the loss of valuable materials like lithium and plastic. Failure to comply with these regulations can also lead to fines.
