Disposable Vaping Devices Wreak Havoc On Our Global Ecosystem
Pure Labs Urges Government Entities to Put an End to This Major Source of Environmental Pollution & Youth Vaping
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Not only are disposable vaping devices fueling the world’s ongoing youth vaping epidemic, these single-use plastic e-cigarettes are responsible for the growing, exorbitant amount of toxic waste plaguing our earth. As if it isn’t harmful enough that disposable vape products are purposely targeting our youth with brightly colored packaging, eye-catching branding, and appealing fruit & dessert flavors; the plastics, heavy metals, and lithium batteries that these devices are comprised of are now a leading source of environmental pollution.
Similar to what we’ve seen with combustible cigarette butts, littered disposable vaping devices are now a major source of contamination to our ecosystem, on a worldwide scale. The issue is not just the non-decomposable plastic casings we see scattered in the streets, on beaches, and in parks far too often. Disposable vaping devices also leach hazardous waste from their lithium batteries and heavy metals from their circuitry systems. The moment these toxic materials penetrate our environment, the corruption of our ecosystem and our wildlife begins. In addition to the harmful and toxic chemicals found in lithium batteries, these types of batteries are known to explode or start fires if disposed of improperly. Not to mention the illegal child labor associated with up to 30% of cobalt mining facilities responsible for sourcing the material used in lithium-ion batteries.
With disposable devices being the preferred method of vaping among our youth, it is no mystery why we are seeing as much e-cigarette pollution as we are today. A standard disposable vape pen only holds enough E-liquid to last a few days, causing the average user to cycle through approximately 2 to 3 devices per week. That’s a lot of waste! Every day, respective Customs entities are seeing thousands of palettes of these disposable vape devices enter from China. If we want to take action and do our part to mitigate the global environmental pollution crisis and the undeniable youth vaping epidemic, we need to stop the infection at its root - put an end to Chinese disposable vaping devices.

Prospera Energy PEI ESG Initiatives Reduces Asset Retirement Liability Commendably and Gains the Principal Investors Support and Guidance to Increase ESG Efforts Effectually29.3.2023 08:01:43 CEST | Press release
CALGARY, Alberta, March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospera Energy Inc.PEI: TSX-V; OF6A: FRA, OTC: GXRFF Approximately, two years ago Prospera was restructured to be profitable and compliant from a terminal position.
