Additionally, ELFBAR has launched a prototype of this concept e-cigarette called the R3 disposable e-cigarette. This new product uses a corrugated paper structure and is designed to be manually disassembled into five parts: lithium battery, outer shell, airflow sensor, battery casing, nozzle, and nicotine filter. The disassembly of all parts allows for the overall recycling rate of the product to be increased to 85%. The outer shell is made of degradable corrugated paper, inspired by cardboard furniture. Users can easily detach the outer shell along perforated lines, and after use, they can remove the battery from the base using a simple push-pull mechanism. This disassembly structure ensures ease of removal and greatly improves efficiency in recycling at waste management facilities.

Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippines Weighs Unified Vape Tax as Lawmakers Back Risk-Based Rates and Government Seeks to Fill ₱66 Billion Revenue Gap
Philippine lawmakers are considering an overhaul of the country's vape excise-tax regime to eliminate the wide gap between taxes on nicotine salt and freebase nicotine liquids and reduce incentives for misdeclaration. House Bill 5364, filed by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez and Rep. Maximo Rodriguez Jr., would impose a unified ₱10-per-milliliter tax on vapor products, with 5% annual increases beginning in 2027. Rodriguez says the proposal could generate an average ₱6 billion in annual collections from 2027 through 2030. The debate comes as the Philippine government considers tobacco, vape and other health-tax reforms to help offset around ₱66 billion in revenue expected to be forgone under a proposed tax-relief package.
