Today I would like to talk about the vaping industry and why there isn't any recycling of nicotine/thc disposable vapes. Once the vape reaches the end of its life cycle and juice is depleted most consumers throw away into the trash. Are consumers unaware of the environmental risk these things can cause? Uneducated on the material being used to manufacture the vapes?
Hello, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Chris. I'm the founder of You & Me Recycling. It's all about our environment that we live in. At You & Me Recycling, I would like to target the nicotine / THC disposable vaping communities. My goal is to obtain safe, secure, hack-proof containers and place in locations where it's convenient for the communities to safely dispose of these devices.
Recycling is important because it helps reduce waste, prevents pollution, helps conserve our natural resources and can create jobs. By recycling these devices we create a healthier environment for ourselves and future generations.
Let's break this down:
- The outer shell of most disposable Vapes today are made from a material called polycarbonate.
Pro's: durable, has high impact resistance and efficient recycling options
Con's: its not biodegradable, contains chemicals including Bisphenol-A; which can risk human health and the environment if not properly managed.
- Lithium ion batteries
Pro's: Can be salvaged and repurposed, faster charging longer life cycles compared to conventional batteries.
Con's: Contains cobalt, nickel and manganese; which can leech out of landfills and contaminate water supplies and ecosystems.
I believe that recycling is essential to protecting our environment and creating a sustainable future. You & Me Recycling is committed to providing access and convenience to the vaping community. I believe that by working together we can make a difference in the world. I'll make recycling easy in hopes to encourage more people to recycle. Recycling is a smart investment for our future so join me in making a difference today.
With your donations I would like to use the money for a business license, getting insured, permits and getting a Dropbox for these devices. I urge you to support the cause. It's only the beginning of the vape industry. Imagine 100 yrs from now!
In the future I hope to spread this business across the United States in every community. To give consumers a convenient location near them, with in walking distance and that's what I strive for.
