Vape importers and manufacturers may need to register as producers under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE) Regulations, the Batteries Regulations and/or the Packaging Regulations. For WEEE they report tonnage of equipment placed on the market within 15 broad categories rather than specific product type.
