Single-use Vape collection and recycling service
Compliant, UK based vape recycling made simple for safer, sustainable waste management
Valpak's Vape Recycling Service
Valpak, in collaboration with our trusted recycling partners, now offers a comprehensive solution for all your vape recycling needs. Our nationwide collection service ensures businesses can meet their vape takeback obligations under the latest regulations with ease and confidence.
We offer a range of container sizes to suit your business, from compact countertop boxes to large UN-approved drums. Making it simple to manage collections, no matter your scale.
Once collected, each vape is carefully dismantled and its components of plastics, metals, and batteries are separated and sent to certified UK based processors for recycling. The only non-recyclable element, the coil and wick, is responsibly incinerated. Importantly, all processing takes place within the UK, none of this waste is exported.
Our dedicated team is on hand to support you every step of the way, from answering enquiries to helping set up your vape collection service.
