The UK government’s plan to ban the sale of disposable vapes will drop the number of hard-to-recycle devices that end up littered, environment secretary Steve Barclay said.
Under the plan announced early this week by British prime minister Rishi Sunak, there would be a ban on disposable vapes as well as new powers to restrict vape flavours and a requirement to sell them in plain packaging.
These measures come as part of the government’s response to its consultation on smoking and vaping, which was launched in October last year. This applies across the UK, with the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland administrations announcing similar plans.
