Deposit System Proposed for Vapes
Description
Disposable vapes are wreaking havoc on waste systems, prompting industry leaders to propose a five-pound deposit scheme to incentivize returns and recycling. Despite a recent ban, litter and fire hazards persist, and current recycling efforts fall short. Critics warn the plan could drive sales underground, while regulators eye loopholes like reusable vape designs. With government backing and pressure on retailers, the debate heats up over how to truly tackle this growing environmental crisis.
