Vapour Central – Going Green: Our Sustainability Commitment
At Vapour Central, we take sustainability seriously. We’re committed to reducing waste, recycling disposal devices responsibly, and encouraging eco-conscious choices across all our stores in Leigh‑on‑Sea, Westcliff, and Rayleigh.
📦 Why It Matters?
- Vapes contain lithium‑ion batteries, plastics, and electronic components. If not recycled properly, they can pollute soil and waterways.
- Each week, we recycle around 300 devices per store*, preventing harmful materials from entering landfills and reducing CO₂ emissions.
- Recycling supports resource recovery and reduces environmental impact.
🌿 How You Can Help
- Bring used disposables, devices & batteries back to any Vapour Central location.
- Choose rechargeable or refillable devices when possible.
- Dispose of batteries responsibly at store drop-off points.
- Support eco-conscious brands available in-store.
| Initiative | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Vape Recycling | All disposable and pre-filled devices, including batteries, are recycled at our stores and processed by qualified partners. |
| Refillable & Rechargeable Options | We promote reusable vape kits over single-use disposables or pre-filled devices to reduce environmental impact and long-term waste. |
| Eco Packaging | We favour minimal, recyclable packaging across our product lines to reduce excess plastic and material use. |
| Customer Recycling Points | Customers can return used devices and batteries at any Vapour Central location for proper recycling. |
At Vapour Central, we take sustainability seriously. In the last 12 months, we successfully recycled over 1.5 metric tons of disposable vapes across our stores — helping prevent thousands of lithium batteries and plastics from entering landfill.
We also ensure that our environmental responsibility doesn’t stop at product recycling:
Every choice we make, from energy to waste, is part of our ongoing commitment to a cleaner, greener future.
❗ Important Update: Disposable Restrictions from May 2025
From May 2025, EU regulations prohibit the sale of single-use disposable vapes. However, Vapour Central will continue accepting pre‑filled, rechargeable devices like Elf Bar 600, SKE Pro 600, and BM6000, ensuring customers have practical, environmentally friendly alternatives.
Join us in protecting the planet—bring back your used devices and choose greener alternatives. Let’s keep vaping sustainable, one device at a time.
*Each of our stores recycles an average of 300 disposable vapes per week (as of 07/03/24), significantly cutting down on electronic waste and carbon emissions. By properly recycling these disposables, we help reduce harmful pollutants and contribute to a more sustainable vaping industry.
