HOW TO RESPONSIBLY DISPOSE OF VAPE DEVICES AND PODS

Jun 19, 2024 • 2 min read

At Vuse, we care about sustainability. We’re on a journey to becoming a more sustainable vape brand, which is why we created our Take Back program, helping Vuse consumers responsibly dispose of used devices and pods.

Why you should dispose of your vape properly

Responsible disposal helps ensure used vape devices, pods, and disposable vapes stay out of landfills and wrong waste streams. Our devices go through a more sustainable recycling process, pods are incinerated for waste-to-energy, and disposable vapes use a combined solution.

Can Vuse vapes be responsibly disposed of?

You can give your waste a new purpose with our Take Back program. You can safely dispose of your used Vuse vape devices, disposable vapes and pods through Take Back, which means that no Vuse parts need to end up in landfills.

Disposable vapes

You can send used Vuse disposable vapes, including Vuse GO or GO XL, and Vuse GO Edition 1000, 5000 or 8000 devices, back to us through our Take Back program. We’ll dispose of them responsibly, so there’s no need to worry about where they end up.

Rechargeable vapes

Do you vape with a Vuse rechargeable device, like a Vuse PRO Smart or Vuse ePod? You can send it back to us for responsible disposal through our Take Back program.

Vape parts and materials

Place your used devices and Vuse pods in separate bags (very important!) and send them back to us for responsible disposal through our Take Back program. Let's take a closer look at our Take Back process below.

How to dispose of Vuse vapes and pods?

When you vape with Vuse, responsible vape disposal is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Enjoy it

Use your Vuse vapes, including rechargeable devices, disposable vapes and pods, as you normally would.

 

2. Bag it

Place your empty Vuse products into a collection bag to be picked up from your nearest participating location. Pods and devices must be placed in separate bags.

 

3. Return it

Take the bag to your nearest participating location. You can find your nearest drop-off point here.

What happens after the drop?

Once you give us back your used Vuse vapes and parts, we’ll dispose of them responsibly. Here’s what happens:

  1. Transportation – Vuse products are transported to our supplier’s recycling facility.
  2. Waste-to-energy – Plastic elements from the pods/nicotine chambers are incinerated and converted into energy.
  3. Battery recycling – The lithium-ion battery is dismantled and sent to the downstream facility.
  4. Raw material production – Collected commodity metal is transformed into raw material to manufacture new products.
  5. Reusing e-liquid as fuel – Any collected e-liquid is blended with flammable fluids and used as fuel in cement production.

How to dispose of other disposable vapes?

Only Vuse vapes can be safely disposed of through our Take Back program. However, there may still be options. Consider these Do’s and Don’ts:

  • Don’t – Dispose of your used vaping device in the trash or in your blue bin
  • Do – Contact your council directly or check their website for information about if and where they may collect used vapes and parts
  • Do – Check with your local recycling center to see if they have bins for electricals and batteries and ask if they can accept used vapes this way

How to be a more sustainable vaper

Looking for more ways to live sustainably? Consider monthly online orders to reduce shipping emissions from multiple orders. Or, if you’re a regular vaper using disposable vapes, explore rechargeable options like Vuse PRO Smart to reduce waste.
