As disposable vapes / E-cigarettes have been massively influential in helping a lot of people to reduce or quit their smoking habit and continue to do so in increasing demand, we take a look at how you can dispose of your vape in the best environmentally safe manor.
Dismantle The E-Cigarette
The first thing to consider when recycling is separation. So do a little bit of segregation and dismantle the different parts of the vape. Most of the separate parts of the e-cigarette can be recycled, but they must first be separated, as recycling companies cannot process them whole.
E-cigarettes, especially the more expensive ones, are made with several parts that should be easy to unscrew or unclip and separate from one another.
Put The Battery In Battery Bins
Batteries of any kind are toxic. They are not supposed to be mixed with other waste products because their chemicals destroy the protective layer around landfills.
This is one of the many reasons why there are designated battery bins that can take batteries away and recycle them.
Rinse the Cartridge
Used vape cartridges are harmful if not disposed of properly. This is because they contain liquid nicotine. It is better to rinse them carefully with water before disposal or before recycling them.
RECYCLING REWARDS
As an incentive to get people to recycle your disposable vapes we offer a discount on the return of empty cartridges. For example, for every Geek Bar purchased from us, you can return the empty product and we will offer a 10p off your next Geek Bar.
This may seem insignificant but if you’re a regular Geek Bar user, save up those empties, 10 will give you £1.00 off you next order or return 50 cartridges and receive a FREE Geek Bar!
