uin	20950
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>As confirmed by the Government response to the consultation on Creating a Smokefree Generation and Tackling Youth Vaping consultation, Defra is leading on implementing a ban on disposable or single-use vapes due to the environmental harm caused by these devices. On 11 March draft regulations were published along with an impact assessment, which set out the main environmental concerns. Single-use vapes are an inefficient use of finite raw materials, they are inherently difficult to recycle and are often discarded incorrectly. When littered they pose a risk to soil, water and biodiversity and are a fire risk when thrown into residual waste. A report published by Defra earlier this year provides a broader assessment of the environmental impacts of single-use vapes and can be found online here: <a href="https://sciencesearch.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails?ProjectId=21447" target="_blank">Analysis of the market for vapes: exploring the environmental impacts of single-use vapes - EV0157 (defra.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has not made any environmental assessment of current non-compliant vapes.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 23/04/2024 10:50:21 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore
