According to a report by EBN on September 2nd, British American Tobacco's South Korean subsidiary announced that they will expand their nationwide equipment recycling program. The program aims to recycle, dispose, and reuse unused equipment to promote environmental protection through resource recycling.
The company announced that its expansion plan will now include recycling VUSE vape devices in addition to the previous glo heated tobacco devices. In order to increase user engagement and convenience, the company has decided to increase the number of collaborating convenience stores nationwide.
Glo and VUSE devices will be recycled through dedicated recycling bins set up at over 100 convenience stores nationwide, including CU, GS25, and 7-11. These recycled devices will undergo a professional reprocessing process and be sorted for disposal or reuse based on their components. Batteries will be separated and used in the manufacturing of new batteries.
The company's spokesperson stated that,
With the expansion of this recycling program, we have provided consumers with a more effective platform for the recycling and reuse of old devices. We also hope that this initiative will increase resource circulation rates, thereby contributing to environmental protection and sustainable operations.
