Five million disposable vapes are thrown away each week in the UK. Recent studies have shown that the volume of disposable vapes thrown away over a year is enough lithium to make roughly 1,200 electric vehicle batteries. Whilst recycling points are provided, only 17% of users dispose of vapes using appropriate recycling bins correctly.
By recycling vapes and cartridges, we can reclaim these limited resources, reducing the demand for mining and environmental damage.
Disposable vapes are also composed of a mix of metals, lithium-ion batteries, and plastic casings. When vapes are discarded into regular general waste bins or household recycling, they can end up in landfills.
Here, chemicals and battery components leach into the soil and water, whilst posing significant risks to human health and the environment.
As our business specialises in recycling batteries, WEEE and hazardous materials, we are well equipped to handle your vape waste safely. Please note that we only provide recycling services for businesses generating bulk loads of vape waste rather than consumers.
