250million vapes dumped before ban

CAMPAIGNERS are demanding urgent action after research predicted 250MILLION disposable vapes will be thrown away before the 2025 UK ban.

Recycling experts slammed vaping bosses for their continued failure to comply with eco regulations by offering vape "take-back" services in store.

Research by Material Focus found barely one in 10 shops selling e-cigs offered the recycling services required by law.
