From 1 June 2025, it will be illegal for businesses to sell or supply, offer to sell or supply, or have in their possession for sale or supply all single-use or ‘disposable’ vapes.

For a vape to be considered reuseable, it must be both rechargeable and refillable. The major vaping bands have been developing pod systems that will be compliant after this date. These new lines are now available to order via AF Blakemore.

What to do if you have stock of single-use vapes

If you still have single-use vapes in stock, from 1 June 2025, you won’t be able to sell or supply them to customers and will need to arrange for them to be recycled.

If you have vape bin services, you should do this through the company they provide and may need to pay a fee.

To prepare for the ban, you should: 

• stop buying new stock of single-use vapes
• sell through all existing stock
• buy vapes that follow the new regulations.

From 1 June 2025, if you possess any leftover single-use vaping products, you’ll need to: 

• separate them from other goods 
•  label them as unsellable
• remove them from your shopfloor or online store until they’ve been collected by a registered vape recycling service.
