As cannabis becomes legalized in more places, there’s a growing concern about the environmental impact of its packaging, particularly when it pertains to vape batteries, cart and disposable vapes.
In fact:
Each year almost 200 million vape products end up in landfills. That’s enough to wrap around the earth at least 2 times!
According to PIRG.org (a federation of independent, state-based and citizen-funded Public Interest Research Groups), U.S. consumers throw away approximately 4.5 disposable vapes every second. That’s a lot of waste, but volume alone isn’t the problem.
Did you know?
Vape batteries and disposable vape products CAN’T be disposed of in the trash or recycled via standard recycling programs. Instead, these products must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Properly managing this waste is crucial for environmental sustainability. Here at The Artist Tree, we believe in education, awareness and making it easy for our customers to responsibly dispose of their vape products. That’s why we partnered with Canna Waste Solutions to launch our new Vape Cartridge & Battery Recycling Program. Call it vape expectations.
How to recycle your vapes?
Recycling at the Artist Tree is easy! Just head to any of our 7 locations with your used vape cartridge, vape battery and/or disposable vape, and we’ll add it to our on-site Canna Waste Solutions bin to safely and sustainably recycle your products.
E-waste is a global issue, with significant environmental and social implications worldwide. By recycling disposable vape, vape batteries and vape carts we can help contribute to global efforts to address e-waste challenges and promote sustainability. Our new vape cartridge recycling program is part of a broader picture when we envision long-term sustainability goals for the cannabis industry. Join us in spreading awareness, and together we can have a huge impact!
