Earlier this year, an analysis conducted by Material Focus indicated that 90% of the smaller vape and vape juice producers in the UK seem to be failing to comply with environmental regulations. Material Focus has also previously identified that 1.3 million single-use vapes are thrown away every week in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>NLWA, which manages 3% of the UK\u2019s total waste, highlights that vapes are a \u201cmajor fire risk\u201d due to the lithium batteries inside them and states that the nicotine they often contain is damaging to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>In his letter, Cllr Loakes called on the government to show it\u2019s \u201ccommitted to preserving resources and the environment for future generations\u201d by enforcing a ban or \u2013 at the very least \u2013 making retailers and manufacturers responsible for managing vapes once they become waste. Cllr Loakes said: \u201cSingle-use vapes are contributing to the fastest growing waste stream in the UK, destroying vital resources and polluting our planet. While we are clear that residents should take them to one of our eight reuse and recycling centres or use a take-back scheme, these are inconsistent despite the legal obligations in place.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/ban-disposable-vapes-on-environmental-grounds-nlwa-urges\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-390\/\">Ban disposable vapes on environmental grounds, NLWA urges<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11350,6301,445],"class_list":["post-116647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-nlwa","tag-vape","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
