Disposable vapes spark controversy in Europe, creating market opportunities for pod-based products

FLOW-wrap: break-word !important"> According to foreign media reports, some European countries and regions are discussing banning one-offe-cigarettesThe reason is that it is difficult to recycle waste disposable e-cigarettes, which has a negative impact on the environment. At the same time, the brightly colored appearance will attract young people.

• According to the British resource recycling website circularonline on September 4, Clyde Loakes, Chairman of the North London Waste Management Authority (NLWA), has written to the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of the Environment, saying Disposable e-cigarettes have" difficult logistics, labor-intensive and expensive "problems in recycling due to their" complex material composition ", has urged the government to ban disposable e-cigarettes.

• French Prime Minister Elisabeth Born said in an interview with RTL radio on September 3 that the French government is planning to announce new plans to solve the smoking problem, including banning the use of disposable e-cigarettes.

• The European Union has proposed a plan to ban disposable e-cigarettes by the end of 2026.

• New Zealand has also introduced restrictions to ban e-cigarette stores from being located within 300 meters of schools and ensure that All e-cigarettes must be equipped with removable batteries。

There are two points worthy of attention here. One is that the complex material composition of disposable e-cigarettes makes recycling difficult. The other is that e-cigarettes are equipped with detachable batteries. Against this background,the cartridgeThe replaceable e-cigarette separated from the battery pole may usher in market opportunities.

There is no unified industry standard for disposable e-cigarettes. If there is, the cost is as low as possible. Therefore, the materials used for each company's products are somewhat different.

Taking the shell and cigarette holder as examples, there are applied materials such as ABS, PP, PC/ABS alloy, PC, aluminum alloy, etc. The oil storage silo is based onsmoke oilChemical resistance requirements, most of them still usePCTG。Then, most of the oil storage cotton parts are PP and PET fibers.

Coupled with batteries, cigarette fluid, circuit boards, and disposable e-cigarettes are indeed made of very complex materials.# p#pagination title #e#

Removable battery

The batteries of disposable e-cigarettes are welded to the solution board, so this also makes it more difficult to recycle waste disposable e-cigarettes. Some manufacturers have also introduced modular one-timee-cigarette productsAt the same time, some industry people are looking for products with detachable batteries.

Market opportunities for replaceable e-cigarettes

Previously, some industry insiders said that in the European market, although disposable e-cigarettes are popular in the short term, in the long run, there is hope to re-enter the track. There are two reasons: one is supervision and the other is environmental impact promotion.

Regulation is related to European TPD2ml oil volume. In terms of environmental protection, just like the "complex material composition" criticized by disposable e-cigarettes, the cartridge of the replaceable e-cigarette is mainly composed of PCTG oil storage bin/base, silica gel, and atomizing core. The material is relatively simple. From a certain perspective, the replacement tobacco rod is a detachable battery. So, from these perspectives, the bomb-changing e-cigarette may have the opportunity to open up a new track in Europe.
