Question
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the environmental impact of the improper disposal of vapes.
Answer
I have commissioned an urgent review of the environmental impacts and management of single-use vapes.
Zero Waste Scotland will lead on the review which will examine available evidence, including the environmental impact of incorrect disposal of vapes.
We will consider the evidence and expert advice and bring forward policy options in due course.
