Our earth is 4.54 billion years old, give or take another few million years. According to science, it didn’t exist before that and will cease to exist after another few billion years from now. An article published in 2015 suggests that our planet will become inhabitable for most living organisms in another 1.3 billion years. And while the sun will play a major role in taking away this planet’s life, which it has helped sustain since time immemorial, humans will be a key contributor to its demise and that of many other species.
The earth is heating up and is submerged in pollution, which the rising global temperature and humidity prove. Admit it, you have consciously or subconsciously noticed the quickly fluctuating climate conditions with every passing year. While most are unbothered, uninformed, and relentless in their daily approach to worsening the very world they inhabit, we at Smoke Vape Revolution want to add a few years to the earth’s lifespan and hope to lead by example, so that every vaper and vape brand follows in our eco-conscious footsteps and cancel the armageddon.
But what can vapers do? Vapers can make better choices, which may just be what the vaping community needs to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace a more sustainable path.
3 Steps to Be an Eco-Friendly Vaper
-
Recycle and Dispose Of Responsibly
Did you know the weight of vapes tossed around annually equals three Brooklyn Bridges? Vapes generate waste abundantly—used coils, empty e-liquid bottles, and toxic batteries. Properly disposing of them is crucial to minimizing the environmental impact, especially in the case of disposable vapes. What you need to do may seem like extra work, but wouldn’t you do it to make your home safer?
Used coils are electronic waste (e-waste). Take them to designated recycling centers where they can be disposed of and recycled properly. Batteries in vapes are typically lithium-ion batteries and battery recycling programs are a must to prevent toxins from leaching into the ecosystem.
Disposal may not be the only solution to promote responsible vaping, so we encourage you to transition to eco-vapes.

Choose Sustainable Eco-Friendly Vapes
Becoming an eco-friendly vaper requires more than just responsible disposal. It necessitates making better choices aligned with eco-friendly practices.
Disposable devices generate more waste than refillable vape setups, but it may be too much to ask you to opt for expensive mods. So, we designed our AIR series, America’s first eco-friendly disposables that are premium and affordable. These devices are nearly fully recyclable, boasting a 99.26% recyclability. Made of cardboard, silicone, and biodegradable plastics and metal, the Air Nano, Air Elite, Air Plus, and Air Ultra are perfect.
Our disposables produce 70% less waste and 38% less landfill waste than fancy vapes. Also, they take 57% less time to recycle. Couple these features with responsible disposal practices, and you have the best choice for eco-friendly vaping.

Biodegradable Packaging
Let’s talk a little about the packaging. Vapes come in different sizes and varieties, and often, high-end devices may be available in designer packages, although rare. Ensure your device is packed securely in compostable packaging whenever you buy a disposable. It helps reduce plastic waste and conserve resources.
How Does Vaping Beat Smoking When They Both Pollute the Environment?
The environmental consequences of vaping and smoking are worlds apart. It’s hard to believe, but there is so much that vaping has changed.
Traditional smoking is one of the biggest contributors to environmental impact. 4.5 trillion cigarette butts pollute our environment and is the biggest form of plastic pollution in the world. They are non-biodegradable and take years to decompose, before which they release more than enough harmful chemicals into the water and soil, threatening wildlife and ecosystems. Smoking also produces a massive amount of air pollution with numerous harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
On the contrary, vaping is much more eco-friendly. Of course, it has its unskippable negativities we described above, it produces significantly less waste than smoking because they do not use filters, nor do they get over after only a dozen puffs. One device lasts for days or even weeks, depending on usage. Additionally, vaping emits fewer chemicals into the air, helping improve the air by reducing the amount of smoke going into it.
Although both activities have health implications, the environmental consequences of vaping are substantially less severe than smoking. Hence, it is a more sustainable choice for those looking to minimize their carbon footprint and help preserve the earth and its future.
