Producers registered under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations are not required to report data at a product specific level. Producers of disposable vapes are required to report data under Category 7 (leisure equipment and toys) along with any other equipment they place on the market in that category. It is therefore not possible to identify from the public register which companies are placing disposable e-cigarettes on the UK market.
