Partnership between ELFBAR and SGF to Tackle E-cigarette Waste
According to STV on October 12, e-cigarette brand ELFBAR has partnered with the Scottish Grocers' Federation (SGF) to provide 1000 free e-cigarette recycling bins to member stores of the trade group, starting from mid-October. This initiative aims to address the environmental issues caused by disposable e-cigarette waste.
Many retailers and outlets in Scotland are now offering free old e-cigarette recycling services, with organizers stating that this initiative will significantly increase the scale of recycling activities. According to estimates from the Scottish Zero Waste research, Scotland has to deal with as many as 26 million disposable e-cigarettes each year, with 10% of them being improperly discarded and over half of the e-cigarettes not being properly disposed of.
Dr. Pete Cheema, Chief Executive of the Scottish Grocers Federation, stated, "SGF welcomes partnership with ELFBAR to assist retailers in making their utmost efforts to reduce the environmental impact of disposable e-cigarettes. Together with ELFBAR, we will provide 1000 free in-store e-cigarette recycling bins to retailers. This is an important step that will further facilitate convenient options for waste management and recycling of e-cigarette products."
