Can I recycle my vape products?

Recycling Old Vaping Products

Amidst the COP26 discussions and sustainability initiatives, here’s a quick guide on how to contribute to recycling vape products and reduce landfill impact.

Encouraging everyone to recycle whenever possible is essential, yet recycling vape devices could be more complex and time-consuming compared to everyday items like plastic bottles.

Initiating recycling by separating materials is key. For instance, to recycle a vape coil, you must clean the metal wire after removing the non-recyclable cotton or mesh inside. Though tedious, it’s a meaningful step towards a cleaner environment.

Note that recycling capabilities vary by region, so it’s advisable to check with local authorities or recycling centers first.

Recycling Vape Coils

Coils, comprising metal wire and wicking material, are pivotal to your device. While most are detachable, fixed coils require extra effort to dismantle. Refer to the packaging or manual for specific recycling guidelines.

If the coil is removable, focus on recycling the metal part after cleaning it from any e-liquid residues. Discard the non-recyclable components separately.

Recycling Vape Tanks

The tank/pod, holding e-liquid, can be recycled relatively easily if made of metal. Separate it from the battery and remove rubber and silicone parts before recycling. Keep the tank free of liquid and residue.

Recycling Vape Batteries

Recycling batteries, crucial components of e-cigarettes, is vital. Dispose of lithium batteries at specialized recycling points. Ensure proper disposal to minimize environmental impact.

Recycling E-Liquid Bottles

Most e-liquid bottles are recyclable plastics like LDPE, HDPE, or PET. Check local guidelines on recycling options. Vampire Vape uses PET bottles, widely recycled into various products.
