Used Vape Recycling

Vaping has become increasingly popular in recent years, but what happens to all those used vape pens and e-cigarettes, and what are some of the issues? 

Some people might toss them in the bin, but doing this can be dangerous. 

Fire isn’t just a risk; it’s a reality with more and more reports of vapes combusting at waste transfer stations, in rubbish carts, and domestic bins, causing millions of pounds of damage, disrupting general waste collections, and of course, risking human life.  

Others try to do the right thing by putting them in with other batteries, but this is equally problematic.

The environmental impact is vast also. Pollutants, including lithium and nicotine-contaminated glycol, leach into the environment, causing lasting harm to soils and wildlife.

So, what is the solution?

Surely, it has to be the collection and recycling of the vapes by a specialist vape recycling company like Haz Tech Waste.  Take a look at how we work.
