Recently, the British E-cigarette Industry Association (UKVIA) announced the launch of "Sustainable E-cigarette Week" in October and established an online information sharing platform.
UKVIA said the platform aims to allow e-cigarette users, industry and retailers to "take action from now on and contribute to environmental protection". While the e-cigarette industry is working to limit its environmental impact, such as more recycling of products and the introduction of take-back schemes, around five million single-use e-cigarettes are used every week, according to a recent report from Material Focus. The cigarette was discarded.
A new information resource and week-long campaign will create a do’s and don’ts list for single-use e-cigarette recycling and provide vapers with information on where to dispose of their e-cigarettes in an environmentally friendly manner. Retailers and other venues, such as bars and clubs, can also download educational resources to educate their customers throughout the week and throughout the year on the recycling of single-use e-cigarettes.
The new resource library will also provide guidance to those responsible in the manufacture, import, distribution and sale of e-cigarettes to ensure that they always file legally when dealing with environmental regulations and always operate legally when dealing with environmental regulations. This also ensures that they work closely and effectively with reputable waste management companies.
John Dunne, director general of the British Vape Industry Association (UKVIA), said in an interview:
"Disposable e-cigarettes, due to their ease of use, convenience and low entry price, can be very effective in getting smokers to change their habits and switch to far less harmful e-cigarettes. They are a major reason why smoking rates in the UK are currently at record lows."
"Sustainable E-Cigarette Week" activities will be launched on October 16 to coincide with International E-Waste Day on October 14. The UK Vape Industry Association (UKVIA) will provide all its members and the wider industry with a range of content to promote and share in-store and online (including across their communications channels) educating vapers and making a difference in environmental protection. , change their disposal behavior.
