Vape Waste 2

Americans threw away 5.7 disposable vapes (or e-cigarettes) per second in 2023, up from 4.5 per second as reported in 2022. In other words, nearly 500,000 disposable vapes were tossed each day in 2023, according to data from the CDC Foundation. This relentless stream of electronic waste isn't just alarming—it's extremely hazardous and entirely preventable.
