Sustainable Vaping: Make the Switch to Eco-Friendly Products

As the vaping industry continues to grow, so does the potential for environmental waste and pollution. In order to cultivate a healthier planet and reduce our effect on the environment, vape manufacturers can help you take steps to make your products more eco-friendly. In this article, we'll discuss how vape manufacturers can help you switch to more sustainable products in order to produce environmentally friendly vape products.

The Problem with Disposables

A major issue with vape products is the amount of E-Waste they produce. Disposable vapes are often thrown away and not recycled, leading to a large influx of non-biodegradable materials in our landfills. Even worse, many of these disposable devices contain valuable metals and plastics that could be repurposed and recycled.

The other issue with disposables is that they're difficult to recycle. Many of the components inside these devices are not able to be separated and recycled. Vape brands should consider switching to more sustainable options that are easier to recycle and reuse. By switching to an eco-friendlier option, vape manufacturers can help your brand reduce its environmental impact.

Making the Change to Reusable Devices

For vape brands looking to reduce their eco-footprint, making the switch to reusable devices is a great option. There are several types of reusable devices on the market, from refillable pods and cartridges to larger tank systems. Refillable pod systems offer more flexibility with E-Liquid flavours and have become increasingly popular in recent years. Tank systems also offer a higher level of customization, allowing users to choose different types of coils and vape settings.

Developing a pod kit system is a great way of introducing your current disposable vape customers to the world of vaping. Offering a range of refillable pods with different nicotine strengths is an easy way to help them get started while encouraging them to switch from disposables to reusable devices.

E-Liquid - the sustainable vaping option

For vape brands, investing in turning your disposable vapes into E-Liquid - currently known as Bar Salts - is another way that you can reduce your environmental footprint. Bottles of E-Liquid last longer than disposable devices and can be packaged in recyclable bottles. By switching to E-Liquids rather than disposable devices, brands can reduce their E-Waste from single-use lithium batteries and plastics that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Additionally, vape brands can look into using recycled materials for their boxes - this not only helps reduce waste but gives your products an eco-friendly feel.

Perhaps consider reducing any unnecessary packaging and going for a more minimalist look. Where applicable, it is possible to apply peel-and-reveal labels to bottles, removing the need for boxes.

Establishing your sustainable vape brand

Vape brands should consider creating eco-friendly and sustainable vape products in order to reduce their environmental footprint. Not only can this help you create a healthier planet, but it also gives your brand an eco-friendly reputation. Investing in refillable pods, tank systems and recyclable E-liquid bottles are all great ways to reduce waste and help your brand become more sustainable.

How Can E-Liquid Manufacture be Eco-Friendly?

Eco-friendly, kind on the wallet, and better for your health - it’s not hard to see why the vaping market has seen such continued success against the tobacco industry. For those looking to learn more about becoming an eco-friendly E-Liquid manufacturer, and maybe develop your first eco-friendly products, we’ve put together a few starting points to get on the right track. 

Source and Distribute Local to Save The Planet

We all know shipping products across the globe with hundreds of air miles is harsh on the environment. Whilst many vape or E-Liquid products are shipped and sold internationally, becoming a local manufacturer or selling locally help keep your E-Liquids in good stock without the long journey.

At Xyfil, our head offices and production site are based in Preston, UK. We’re proud to produce and sell to the national market and support the UK industry. However, our manufacturing facilities have also developed across Dubai, UAE, Europe, North America, and the Middle East - so wherever you are in the world, a Xyfil E-Liquid can be on your doorstep with minimal environmental costs. 

Dispose of disposables

It’s no surprise that disposable vape devices have boomed in popularity both with customers and manufacturers. Cheap to make and easy for consumers to get to grips with, they allow brands to reach new customers and promote new flavours. But at what price?

Disposable vapes contain lithium-ion batteries which are usually designed to be used at least 300 times, with the average being around 500 – that’s 500 puffs per device. However, regardless of whether there is life left in these disposable devices once the E-Liquid runs out, they become virtually useless and are thrown away, often only hours after first being used. That’s hundreds upon hundreds of batteries being manufactured, transported around the world, and then discarded. These devices are not even recyclable due to the battery and nicotine in the device making them anything but environmentally friendly.

Of course, these trends live and die by the consumers so it’s not surprising that brands have raced to bring out their own disposable devices. Pod devices seem to be making a return, and these kits offer a much more environmentally friendly alternative, whilst remaining simple for new vapers. Many pod kits offer refillable cartridges that only need replacing once the coil burns out, rather than replacing the whole device.

We offer a variety of E-Liquid product types from 10ml TPD compliant E-Liquids to shortfills in 60ml and 120ml. Our manufacturing services include freebase nicotine as well as our premium nicotine salt, combined with our award-winning flavour blends, at Xyfil we can help you create your E-Liquid brand or take it further.

Is Your E-Liquid Sustainable?

We’ve never been more aware of the importance of understanding where our products come from and the mark they make on our planet. Making sure the E-Liquid products we produce use ingredients sourced mindfully and sustainably is one of the best steps to becoming an eco-friendly manufacturer.

At Xyfil, the CBD used for our CBD vape liquids is 100% organic and sustainably sourced from traceable farms in Colorado, USA. We also maintain full traceability for all our products, including sample collections on raw materials and full tracking throughout the product development life cycles. This way we can be sure of every step of the process. So, we know our E-Liquids are eco-friendly, sustainable, and consistent.
