We are committed to reducing environmental impact and helping our customers dispose of products responsibly.
To support this, we provide recycling guidance in line with UK packaging and waste regulations through trusted industry resources such as Recycle More while also offering dedicated vape recycling collection points at our own premises.
IVG products containing batteries or electrical components fall under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations. These products should never be disposed of with household waste and should always be recycled through an appropriate collection point.
Recycle More is an initiative operated by Valpak that provides consumers with clear and practical information on how to recycle different types of packaging and materials. It is used by a wide range of UK retailers and manufacturers to help meet recycling information obligations.

No. Vapes contain batteries and electronic components and should never be disposed of with general household waste. They should always be recycled through an appropriate collection point.
Where possible, remove any remaining e-liquid before placing your vape into the recycling bin. Do not place hot, smoking, visibly damaged, swollen or leaking devices into the collection bin. If your device is damaged or leaking, speak to a member of staff so it can be handled safely.
IVG vape recycling collection points are open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:30.
Recycling centres safely remove batteries before the device is broken down mechanically and by hand. Materials such as metals and plastics are sorted, cleaned and sent for processing.
Recycling helps keep batteries out of general rubbish, protects people from the risks associated with battery disposal and recovers valuable materials that can be reused.
