Europe is facing an escalating environmental challenge driven by e-waste. As classified WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), millions of disposable e-cigarettes are improperly discarded into general waste streams weekly, posing a dual threat to the environment and public safety.
Resource Loss and Fire Hazard: The Dual Risks
Improperly disposed vapes are causing unsustainable resource loss and severe safety risks:
Critical Resource Squandering: Tens of tonnes of vital materials like lithium, cobalt, and copper are lost to landfills each year. These resources are essential for the green economy and electric vehicle production, and must be recovered.
Major Fire Hazard: Lithium batteries inside vapes are a leading cause of fires in waste collection vehicles and recycling facilities. When compressed or pierced, these batteries can spontaneously combust, posing a significant danger to workers and infrastructure.
