Vapes, chargers, and other “invisible” e-waste are a 9-million-ton problem.::Chargers, vapes, and other small electronics make up millions of tons of “invisible” e-waste each year. Recycling them could recover billions of dollars worth of precious materials.
A problem that could be solved overnight by legislation. And yet, the consumers are to blame.
Something like the lead acid battery laws that make those batteries the most recycled item.
Force sellers to accept all the dead ones and create a mandatory recycling regime.
In some countries theirs already pickups so the logistics for all of this is already done.
