Article summary

The Welsh Government has published guidance for businesses regarding the forthcoming ban on single-use vape products. The Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (Wales) Regulations 2024 will make it a criminal offence to supply or offer to supply single-use vapes to consumers in Wales from 1 June 2025. The ban aims to reduce environmental harm caused by the production and incorrect disposal of these products. Businesses are advised to begin planning for the new law immediately, including transitioning to reusable vape products. The guidance outlines the timescales, affected parties, and necessary actions for businesses before and after the ban's implementation. Additional support and detailed guidance for businesses will be published in January 2025.
