Vape Recycling

Responsible Vape Disposal and WEEE Collection Solutions

The rapid rise in vape usage has brought with it a new set of environmental challenges. While often seen as a cleaner alternative to smoking, disposable vapes contain materials such as plastics, lithium batteries, and electronic componentsโ€”all of which require specialist disposal. Unfortunately, many end up in general waste streams, where they pose risks of chemical leakage and even fire hazards in landfills or waste facilities.

At Olital Recycling, we offer dedicated vape recycling services, ensuring that every component is handled in line with WEEE waste regulations and recycled wherever possible. By promoting vape recycling in your workplace, youโ€™re helping reduce environmental harm and supporting responsible waste management.

If your business operates across multiple locations and requires vape collection from several sites, get in touch with us for tailored solutions and discounted rates.

The Vape Recycling Process: What Happens After Collection?

At Olital Recycling, we follow strict recycling procedures and health and safety standards to ensure responsible vape disposal. Our specialised WEEE and vape recycling team carefully sorts vapes by type before manually dismantling each unit. Components such as plastic, aluminium, copper, and lithium are separated, bulked, and sent to licensed recycling partners for full recovery and reuse.

The only element that cannot be fully recycled is the glycol-contaminated coil and gauze, which is directed to energy-from-waste facilities. This process generates energy that helps power local homes and businesses, ensuring even the non-recyclable materials are put to positive use.

Lithium batteries from vapes are also fully processed, with metals and plastics recovered and reintegrated into the supply chain for new product manufacturing.
