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.
