Imagine a world where vaping is both stylish and eco-friendly. In 2022, the global vape pen market was worth a staggering $7.6 billion, projected to soar to $18.7 billion by 2028. Vape pens, the darlings of modern smoking culture, are in the hands of millions, with a growing fan base that includes health-conscious individuals, budget-savvy smokers, and trendsetting youth.

Yet, this tale of vape pen popularity has a twist – an environmental twist. Vape pens are not as eco-friendly as we might think. They contain non-biodegradable materials like plastic, metal, and lithium batteries, which is a recipe for an environmental headache.

The Vape Pen Disposal Dilemma

Picture this: Discarded vape pens end up in landfills, joining the heaps of waste that take centuries to decompose. But here's where you can be the hero in this tale. ResQ, with its Bin Sponsorship program, offers you a chance to step up and make a difference.

Soaring Sales, Sinking Consequences

Did you know that in 2022, the global vape pen market was worth a jaw-dropping $7.6 billion? Fast forward to 2028, and it's expected to hit a staggering $18.7 billion. The popularity of vaping among young adults, the rising cost of cigarettes, and the belief that vaping is a healthier choice are fueling this explosive growth.

But here's where the plot thickens. The popularity of vape pens also spells environmental trouble. You see, these nifty gadgets are made up of non-biodegradable materials like plastic, metal, and lithium batteries. And that's a recipe for an eco-conundrum.

Where Do Used Vape Pens Go?

Many folks casually toss their used vape pens into the trash. And where do they end up? In landfills, those gigantic garbage repositories that can take centuries to decompose. This careless disposal is contributing to pollution and environmental damage.

Recycling Rates: A Vaping Paradox

Recycling should be the hero in this story, right? Unfortunately, it's not. A study by Material Focus in 2022 found that only 1 in 100 disposable vapes gets recycled. Why? These disposable vapes are often a complex mix of materials that are tricky to recycle. Plus, there are limited drop-off spots for them.

And that's not the end of it. Vape pens contain toxic ingredients like heavy metals and lithium. When they end up in landfills or incinerators, these nasties can seep into the soil and groundwater, endangering both our environment and our health.
