Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading were among many headline festivals that banned these items last summer, but the association notes that many other festivals have yet to follow suit this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome more festivals introducing single-use vape bans following Glastonbury\u2019s lead last year,\u201d says Antonia Grey, head of policy and public affairs at BMRA. \u201cBut we hope many more will follow this year. The BMRA says it has long campaigned for action to be taken on disposable vapes on the grounds of safety and fire risks posed by their lithium-ion batteries. Earlier this week, new figures revealed how fires caused by batteries in waste have gone up by 71 percent in the U.K. since 2022, with more than 1,200 fires reported in the waste system in the past 12 months compared with 700 two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The BMRA says estimates indicate that lithium-ion batteries are responsible for nearly 48 percent of U.K. waste fires at a cost of some 150 million pounds sterling ($189.9 million) last year. The association notes that the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals (RSPCA) recently called for a ban on disposable vapes as have local councils.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/news\/bmra-calls-on-music-festivals-to-ban-disposable-vapes\/\">Recycling Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-521\/\">British Metals Recycling Association calls for music festivals to ban disposable vapes<\/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":[677,575,14534,6301],"class_list":["post-130406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-festivals","tag-vape"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130406","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=130406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130406\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
