Vapour Central

At Vapour Central, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainability throughout our operations. As part of our responsibility, we adhere to environmental regulations and industry best practices in the disposal and recycling of nicotine-related products, packaging, and electronic devices. Our goal is to ensure we protect the environment and manage resources effectively, while promoting sustainability across our business operations.

We recognise that our operations have an impact on the environment, and we are dedicated to reducing that impact in all aspects of our business. This includes:

Compliance with Environmental Legislation: We comply with all relevant environmental legislation, including the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations and packaging waste disposal requirements.

Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling: We promote the reduction, re-use, and recycling of materials used in our packaging and operations, as well as ensuring that our products are disposed of safely at the end of their lifecycle.

Customer Guidance: We provide clear information to our customers about the responsible disposal of products, including nicotine pouches, packaging, and any vaping devices that may contain batteries.

We are committed to improving our sustainability efforts, which includes focusing on practices that reduce waste, promote the use of eco-friendly materials, and decrease our carbon footprint. Specifically, we are working towards:

Sustainable Shipping Practices: We work with partners who prioritise sustainable shipping methods. This includes optimising packaging size to reduce shipping volume and working with logistics partners that aim to reduce their carbon emissions.

Waste Reduction: We actively promote the reduction of waste by reusing materials where possible, recycling electronic waste, and ensuring that no product ends up in landfill without proper disposal or recycling procedures.

Energy Efficiency: We are constantly looking for ways to improve the energy efficiency of our operations. This includes reducing our energy consumption in both the office and warehouse, using energy-efficient lighting and equipment, and considering renewable energy options where feasible.

Eco-Friendly Products: We aim to expand our range of products that have a reduced environmental impact, including rechargeable devices and products that are made from more sustainable materials.

We are extremely fortunate to have some of the best vape brands right here in the UK; we recommend purchasing your e-liquids from a manufacturer based in the UK to help reduce your carbon footprint. If you are unsure where a product on our website is made, please do contact our team who can advise.

E-cigarette batteries can be recycled; however, to avoid any hazardous chemicals affecting our environment, it is critical that any vape or e-cigarette batteries be disposed of properly.

Simply remove any tank, refillable pod, or coils from your device and place the battery into a battery safety bin, which can be found in your local supermarket or recycling facility.

Disposing of your vape kit responsibly helps protect the environment and ensures components are processed correctly. Follow this step-by-step guide to recycle your e-cigarette safely and sustainably:

Disassemble Your Device

Start by carefully unscrewing and separating each component of your vape kit. Remove the battery, coil, and tank from the main body.

Clean the Tank

Before recycling, ensure your tank is free from any leftover e-liquid. Simply rinse it with warm water once detached from the battery.

Recycle Glass & Plastic Parts

Any plastic or glass elements (like tanks or mouthpieces) can be placed in your local glass or plastic recycling bins, depending on material type.

Dispose of Metal Components Separately

Metal parts, such as the coil casing or certain device shells, should be recycled in the metal recycling bin if available.

Recycle the Battery Safely

Vape batteries must be placed in designated battery disposal bins, which are commonly found in supermarkets, electronics stores, Vapour Central stores or recycling centres.

Recycle Packaging

Any cardboard or paper packaging can be recycled with your standard paper waste.
