That the Parliament joins environmental and health campaigners in marking the first anniversary of the Environment Protection (Single-Use Vapes) (Scotland) Regulations 2024, which came into force on 1 June 2025, and was a crucial step towards addressing significant environmental and public health challenges posed by disposable vapes; welcomes that a decrease in littered vapes has been recorded since the ban on the sale and supply of single-use vapes was introduced; recognises the urgent need for improved reporting by businesses on the number of vapes that are returned for recycling and the reintroduction of more frequent publishing of robust data regarding children’s use of vapes to assess the extent to which the ban is helping to tackle youth vaping; appreciates continuing challenges regarding the safe disposal of vapes, improving recycling, the recovery of critical materials and eradicating harmful smoking-related litter, and supports calls from Keep Scotland Beautiful, Laura Anderson (née Young), ASH Scotland and Marine Conservation Society for further actions to improve producer responsibility measures, implement stronger recycling enforcement and efforts to reduce smoking-related litter, in particular cigarette filters, which confer no health benefit, discourage quit smoking attempts and are one of the most commonly discarded items in Scotland’s streets, green spaces and coastlines.
