All it took was an hour 🤢
Once upon a time, they were hard to get a hold of, but now nearly every shop sells some type of disposable device, just as readily as cigarettes. TikTokers are even selling DIY Elf Bar holders.
Disposable vapes and e-liquid bottles are often culprits of plastic pollution and batteries can potentially leak chemicals into landfill if not disposed of properly. While each vape contains just 0.15g of lithium, the scale of the waste means about 10 tonnes of the metal is ending up in landfills. With this in mind, we took a stroll around Preston city centre one Thursday evening, just to see how many disposable vapes we could find on the streets. We decided to look for any 'vape paraphernalia', which included boxes, vapes, the metal casing and the lithium batteries.
