In light of recent discussions at the UN Climate Change Conference and increased efforts by all industries to take a more responsible approach to the environment. We’ve put together a quick and basic advice on how to enhance recycling of vaping goods and lessen the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
It is important that each one of us try to recycle whenever possible. A vape device, such as Al Faker Vape and Elf Bar Pod Kit,sometimes takes more time and work to recycle than a plastic water bottle. Understandably, some things are easier to be recycled than others.
Where to start from?
Sorting is a good beginning in the process of recycling different materials. For example, metal used in a vape coil can only be recycled after washing and taking the non-recyclable cotton or mesh off the coil itself. Though it is very time-consuming and can be a little fiddly, this work brings us one step closer to cleaning up our planet.
Can I Recycle Vape Coils?
Your device’s coils are the parts that hold the e-liquid in place. They are constructed from wicking material and metal wires. The majority of coils can be removed, however some are fixed inside the tank or pod, and removing those will probably be a challenging task.Also keep in mind that in-country recycling capabilities can vary greatly from region to region, so that it may be of some value to initially inquire of a local government or a local recycling centre what they can and cannot recycle.
If so, pay close attention to any special recycling directions within the user manual or packaging.Once the coil has been removed from the tank, you should focus on recycling the metal component. The coil cannot be added into your normal home recycling until the non-recyclable cotton, mesh, or wicking is taken off. Any traces of nicotine and e-liquid also need to go.
Can I Recycle Vape Tanks?
Your device’s tank or pod is where the e-liquid is kept. For a conventional metal tank, recycling these is simple because the battery can be removed, and you can remove any non-recyclable components like silicone and rubber quite easily.
If the glass is toughened, as is often the case, recycling metal will require a higher temperature and not all local authorities will take it. However, metal can be recycled in your home recycling bin. Again, be sure to remove any non-recyclable parts, such rubber or silicone, and confirm that there is no more e-liquid or nicotine residue in the tank.
Can I Recycle Vape Batteries?
The main component in your e-cigarette kit is the battery, which is 100% recyclable. Since each of those batteries contains potentially hazardous elements, it is important to make sure that the battery will be disposed of responsibly and correctly to help take care of the environment. The only acceptable places to discard lithium batteries are at specialized battery disposal sites at local recycling centers.
In order to recycle this battery in the recycling bin, simply dislodge it from your smartphone.
Can E-Liquids be recycled?
Of the e-liquid bottles, most are made of plastic: LDPE, HDPE, or PET. They are all recyclable with PET being recycled much more, but you may have to ask your local government if they recycle the other materials.
In a nutshell:
Our continuous goal is to reduce our carbon footprint by integrating eco-friendly products into our packaging and daily operations. It’s always possible to recycle cardboard and regular plastic in your home. Just make sure the product you’re recycling is free of any nicotine or e-liquid residue, and don’t hesitate to ask questions!
