DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The \"Global Overview of Recycling Programs for e-Cigarettes, Heated Tobacco Products, and Vaporizers Business for 2022 and Future Prospects of Electronic Devices & Consumables Development\" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.<\/p>\n
Every year, 44.7 million tonnes of e-waste is generated around the world - containing up to US$ 65 billion worth of raw materials like gold, silver and platinum sent to landfill. The amount of global e-waste is expected to increase by almost 17% to 52.2 million tonnes in 2021, or around 8% every year.<\/p>\n
Vape products are e-waste since they contain lithium-ion batteries & a heating element. Disposing of e-waste is a considerable challenge due to the many different types of chemicals and materials in these products. Electronic vape products present at least two problems, as their vaporizers contain a circuit board, which can contain plastics and heavy metals and they also use lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n
There are no direct regulations for recycling or utilization of e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, vaporizers and cellulose acetate filters as product items in the EU, USA, China and Japan. There is legislation that regulates waste management and e-waste in particular. But e-cigarettes, HTPs and vaporizers are not covered by any one of the categories of electrical and electronic equipment that cause waste.<\/p>\n
Big Tobacco has its own recycling programs and recycling targets for the nearest future:<\/p>\n
It is expected that the future of e-cigarettes, HTPs and vaporizers recycling will depend on producers` product life cycle programs.<\/p>\n
Main vape companies recycling decisions include:<\/p>\n
The transition to eco-packaging faces the problem of a limited PLA amount and its high cost. The price of PLA is higher the price of non-biodegradable plastic. Another problem is that heated sticks and filters are not biodegradable and vape companies pay not much attention to its recycling.<\/p>\n
