E-cigarettes, the campaign for e-cigarette disposal and recycling starts

The article discusses a campaign launched by Logista, a European distributor, called 'Getta Giusto,' aimed at promoting proper disposal and recycling of electronic cigarettes and tobacco warmers. The initiative focuses on raising awareness about the need for correct handling of these devices, which fall under RAEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). It highlights the growing usage of such devices in Italy and the importance of proper disposal to recover materials and enable recycling. The campaign is part of a broader project, T COLLECT, involving collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, the Italian Tobacco Federation, and the RAEE Coordination Center. Since its national launch in 2024, approximately 90 tons of used electronic cigarettes have been collected, leading to the recovery of over 13,000 kilograms of plastic for recycling and avoiding the emission of around 39,000 tons of CO₂. The program allows consumers to dispose of used electronic cigarettes for free at their trusted tobacconist without any purchase obligation.
