Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to reduce the environmental harms of disposable vapes.

We are aware that the use of disposable vaping products has increased substantially in recent years and are considering the implications of this trend for the environment. As part of our wider review of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations, we will consult on policies aimed at driving up levels of separate collection of electric and electronic waste, including vaping devices, later this year.
