At Lush, we’ve always believed in taking bold steps to protect our planet, and this Black Friday, we’re thrilled to collaborate with One More Time, a local recycling hero addressing a growing environmental threat: single-use vapes. These devices, often discarded after a few days, carry more than just nicotine—they're packed with a lithium batteries that, when improperly disposed of, can ignite fires in landfills, posing severe risks to people and the environment.
One More Time is leading the charge to tackle this problem, creating innovative solutions to keep these hazardous materials out of our landfills and reclaim valuable resources like lithium. Their efforts not only make recycling easier but also help to raise awareness about sustainable practices. Together, we’re showing how small actions can make a big impact.The Real Cost of Single-Use Vapes
Single-use vapes pose a unique threat: their lithium-ion batteries, when crushed or punctured, can spark dangerous fires in waste management facilities and landfills. These fires are notoriously difficult to control, putting both workers and the surrounding environment at risk.
By recycling these devices, we can help mitigate these hazards, reduce the need for mining new resources, and give valuable materials a second life. It’s a critical step toward protecting our planet and its people.
