Also last autumn\/winter, Scotland floated plans for its own ban to be implemented in 2024. Under the UK Government\u2019s plans, retailers will be banned from stocking vapes that are not refillable, which have proliferated the market in recent years. Material Focus estimates that 1.3 million of these hard-to-recycle devices are littered across the UK each week \u2013 the equivalent of two every second.<\/p>\n<p>The UK Government believes that a further four million are placed in bins each week. Environment Secretary Steve Barclay called the new policy \u201ca powerful tool in support of our efforts to crack down on waste and boost recycling\u201d. The Government\u2019s main reasoning for the ban is to tackle nicotine use by children. Almost one in ten children aged 11 to 15 in the UK now vapes, with the practice having tripled over the past three years. Ministers believe the availability of disposables has been a \u201ckey driver\u201d of the increase. As the phase-out of disposable vapes is implemented, new powers will be introduced compelling manufacturers and retailers not to stock flavours designed to entice young people and to house vapes in plainer packaging.<\/p>\n<p>During and after the phase-out, there will also be new rules for retailers on displaying vapes. They will need to keep vapes out of sight of children and position them with other restricted products rather than with items such as sweets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/uk-wide-ban-on-disposable-vapes-confirmed\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-467\/\">UK-wide ban on disposable vapes confirmed<\/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":[677,13144,575],"class_list":["post-124978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-disposable-vapes","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124978","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=124978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124978\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
