As the use of Therapeutic Vaping Products for nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) gains traction, so does the need to address their environmental impact. In Australia, responsible disposal and recycling of these products are essential to minimise waste and protect the environment. Here, we’ll outline why recycling Vaping Products matters, how to do it safely and effectively, and the steps we’re taking to encourage proper recycling.
Why Safe Disposal Matters
Therapeutic Vaping Products contain components that require careful handling to avoid environmental harm. Attempting to disassemble them on your own can expose you to chemical risks, battery hazards, and potential environmental contamination. Instead, always use designated recycling channels.
