Swiss Company Batrec Successfully Recycles 16 Tons of E-Cigarettes
Swiss recycling company Batrec has processed 16 tons of e-cigarettes by the end of 2023, aiming for higher rates.

According to a report by Cetoday, by the end of 2023, the Swiss recycling company Batrec had processed 16 tons of e-cigarettes.


According to the company, the majority of recycled e-cigarettes come from the recycling system of Sens eRecycling, while most of the processed lithium-ion batteries come from the INOBAT office responsible for battery specialist handling in Switzerland.


Since March 2023, a new recycling plant in Wimmis, Bern Canton has been operational. The new facility is expected to process up to 2000 tons of batteries per year. Currently, the recycling plant processes about 1 to 2 tons of e-cigarettes per month.


Currently, Switzerland's e-cigarette recycling rate is 19%. Sens eRecycling aims to increase the country's e-cigarette recycling rate to 50%.


In order to achieve this goal, they conducted promotional activities in public places and set up e-cigarette recycling bins at music festivals and outdoor events.
