According to news from the British resource recycling website circularonline on September 4, Clyde Loakes, chairman of the North London Waste Management Authority (NLWA) in the UK, has written to the Secretary of State and the Minister of the Environment, stating that disposable e-cigarettes are " The complex material composition" is "logistically difficult, labour-intensive and expensive" to recycle and has urged the government to ban disposable e-cigarettes.

Analysis by environmental recycling group Material Focus shows that 90% of small e-cigarette and e-liquid producers in the UK appear to be failing to comply with environmental regulations. Material Focus has also previously noted that 1.3 million disposable e-cigarettes are thrown away in the UK every week.

This time, Lukes called on the government to show its "commitment to protecting resources and the environment for future generations" by imposing a ban or making retailers and manufacturers responsible for managing e-cigarette waste.

He said disposable e-cigarettes were contributing to a rapidly growing waste stream in the UK, destroying vital resources and polluting the planet.

"While we make it clear that residents should take it to a reuse and recycling center, or start a recycling programme, the legal obligation is inconsistent."

All the more single-use products should be discontinued now that reusable alternatives are readily available, Lukes claims.
