Changes have recently been made to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 to require those selling vapes (where their sales area is greater than 400 square metres including aisle, display, and shelf space) to provide an in-store takeback scheme for customers. This service is free to everyone, regardless of whether they have bought the product from that store and will help reduce the amount of vapes being inappropriately disposed of in household waste/ litter bins. These schemes are advertised in-stores and we will continuing working with businesses prior to the ban to help raise awareness. This will include the development of UK wide guidance for the public.
