IVG is Vaping Responsibly — Together, We Can Recycle More

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. 

WEEE Statement

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.

Our Recycling Partner

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.
