Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the Environment Agency has taken enforcement action to ensure companies selling disposable e-cigarettes are compliant with the waste electrical and electronic equipment producer scheme in each of the last seven years.

The Environment Agency undertakes a number of investigation and intervention steps prior to enforcement action, such as compliance monitoring and issuing advice and guidance. To date, the Environment Agency has not taken enforcement action under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations against any company selling disposable e-cigarettes.
