Compromises on compliance

From Collection To Circular Economy

The Journey of Every Vape

From the moment a disposable vape is collected to the moment its materials are given a second life — a fully traceable journey across the UK and Europe.

Stage 1 — Collection

Nationwide Collection

Used disposable vapes are collected from businesses across the UK through retail take-back schemes, business-to-business collections and scheduled nationwide collection services.

Compliant Export Packaging

Before export, vapes are carefully packed into compliant transport packaging that meets international transport requirements. Every shipment is documented and prepared for regulatory approval before leaving the UK.

Stage 7 — New Life for Materials

Giving Materials a Second Life

Recovered materials are separated into individual resource streams. Precious metals are extracted for reuse within manufacturing supply chains, while plastics are processed and repurposed into durable new products including plastic pallets, industrial crates, storage containers and other recycled plastic products.

The Bigger Picture

Creating a Circular Future for Disposable Vapes

Every vape collected through our network follows a fully traceable journey — from collection in the UK to specialist recycling in Denmark — helping recover valuable materials, reduce waste and support a more sustainable circular economy.
