Photo by The majority of Vapers don't know how to get rid of their used products correctly.
That's the view of European Recycling Platform research, which show 66 per cent of those vaping are putting their discarded vapes in regular waste bins.
Most vapers are aware their products contain batteries, but still think they can go into the domestic recycling bin.
CEO of ERP Ireland Martin Tobin says vape waste is easily recycled:
"The important thing is that they follow the proper waste disposal route. The ERP offers free recycling of these devices through our battery recycling network so consumers can return unwanted vapes free of charge through this battery recollection network or also through any retail outlet that sells."
