On April 28, according to foreign reports, regulators across the United States are trying to reduce the waste caused by jet water pipes and evaporators. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of the agencies responsible for hazardous waste disposal. Joseph Hubbard, a spokesman for the agency, said that each agency should have specific standards for responsible disposal of product waste.
In the real world, it is ultimately the manufacturer's obligation to dispose of jet water pipes waste. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even requires producers to conduct environmental impact studies as part of their pre-sales glass pipes product application before putting evaporators on the market. Hubbard pointed out that vapor products may be subject to the rules and guidelines for lithium ion battery waste in retail environments.
He said: "When lithium ion batteries are removed from water pipes for sale, EPA recommends that batteries be recovered or disposed of through special battery or electronic recovery and disposal programs."
Nicotine in jet water pipes is more complicated. Hubbard suggested that the company use existing hazardous waste collection options, such as drug recovery incidents or household hazardous waste collection. He said: "If there is no recovery plan for the nicotine cartridge or electronic juice portion of jet water pipes, EPA recommends mixing this waste with undesirable substances and putting it into household waste."
ater waste products are also subject to the hazardous waste regulations of the resource protection and recycling act (RCRA). The Law on the Protection of Resources gives EPA the ultimate power to control hazardous wastes "from cradle to grave", including wastes generated in the process of manufacture, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal.
In addition, according to Hubbard, any non-domestic facilities that produce hazardous waste, including jet water pipes retailers, are regulated by RCRA.
At the state and local levels, environmental regulators are also trying to reduce waste of steam products. A recent Wen Zhang by the Illinois Capitol News (CNI) discussed the efforts of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to deal with the next jet water pipes crisis: toxic waste.
When James Jennings, an IEPA employee, decided to study the waste reduction and compliance policies related to jet water pipes, he started the idea of policy investigation. Jennings pointed out in the report: "Although jet water pipes is advertised as a relatively harmless substitute for smoking, there are still hazardous wastes, common wastes and plastic components in it, which will have a real impact on the downstream." According to his introduction, this problem requires the industry and competent departments to reform their current waste management practices.
The steam industry is eager to reduce its impact on the environment. Many companies, including the large glass pipes company that sells steam products, have incorporated environmental protection into their corporate social responsibility plans. For example, Philip Morris International (PMI), the world's largest publicly listed glass pipes company, said it would comply with all recommended government and industry standards.
PMI has been listed in CDP Worldwide's Climate A List for many years, which reveals the efforts of cities and enterprises in climate justice. Altria Group, Anglo-American glass pipes, Japanese glass pipes and Imperial brands are also included in the "Climate A" list.
Smaller companies are doing similar things. For example, jet water pipes distributor GreenSmartLiving is proud to defend climate justice, even though it does not have billions of dollars at the disposal of large companies. The evaporator and disposable smoke bomb products of GreenSmartLiving, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, are recyclable. The company is also committed to promoting smokeless products and has an environmentally friendly business model. Randon Jorgensen, director of digital marketing for GreenSmartLiving, said: "we think we are at a critical moment in our environment."
According to its website, GreenSmartLiving's corporate responsibilities include philanthropy, such as donating money to environmental charities. Jorgenson said: "We must pay attention to future generations so that they can experience and appreciate the same things as previous generations. Our goal is to help as much as we can. GreenSmartLiving's development aims to create high-quality substitutes for adult smokers while also giving back to the earth and reducing waste. "
For each online purchase, GreenSmartLiving donates a tree to the "Tree of the Future" program. Jorgensen said that to date, the company has provided 71,897 trees. GreenSmartLiving also contributed to other environmental NGOs. Jorgensen said that if their e-commerce customers send used products back to proper disposal through the company's waste reduction and recycling program, they can offer a 20% discount to their e-commerce customers.
He said: "We provide recycling programs for online consumers and retail chains. In the past ten years, we have recycled more than one million ink cartridges. As a result, we have potentially helped remove more than 24 million [cigarette butts] from the environment. "
Jorgenson said GreenSmartLiving challenged environmental practices of other industry leaders, including large steam and traditional glass pipes. He said GreenSmartLiving stood out from the crowd with its unique waste management method. "We have never targeted children or non-smokers; We just want to offer you another option to smoke and allow you to control your nicotine intake through choice. If you like, you can choose to reduce the nicotine content, "Jorgensen said.
In addition to the traditional steam industry, there are also some companies that want to help curb the waste of water pipes online. For example, TerraCycle, a waste and recycling management company in trenton, n.j., has developed and sold an environmentally friendly jet water pipes waste treatment box-zero waste box.
"We have seen a significant increase in the sales of jet water pipes Zero bins," said Alex Payne, TerraCycle publicist. "Considering the popularity of evaporators in recent years, more and more consumers are beginning to pay attention to the waste generated by these devices, especially the all-in-one devices containing batteries and electronic liquid, which will be discarded after treatment."
Payne said TerraCycle provides a convenient recycling program for nicotine evaporators and components. He said that if the atomization trend continues, manufacturers and retailers should implement their own recycling solutions to meet the environmental challenges posed by steam product waste.
