Call2Recycle is expanding its Recycle Your Vapes program in Quebec to include cannabis vape devices. Quebec is the first Canadian province to implement a comprehensive recycling program for cannabis vape devices.Building on the initial program launched January 1, 2025, this expansion responds to the rapid growth of battery-powered products and evolving cannabis consumption methods, ensuring proper end-of-life recycling. In collaboration with producers, retailers, government entities, municipal partners, and stakeholders, Call2Recycle is preventing batteries and device components from ending up in landfills.Call2Recycle said the model can be implemented nationwide.“As the market evolves, recycling solutions must keep pace, and Call2Recycle continues to support the transition to responsible recycling practices,” said Joe Zenobio, pPresident and CEO at Call2Recycle Canada.“Whether it’s household batteries or those embedded in emerging products, our mission remains the same: to provide safe, convenient, and proven solutions for responsible collection and recycling. With nearly thirty years of leadership in battery management, Call2Recycle is proud to contribute to Quebec’s waste reduction goals through an innovative program designed to keep up with a constantly changing market.”The Recycle Your Vapes program offers a model for the responsible management of battery-powered devices and their increasingly complex components. The program’s expansion complements Call2Recycle’s stewardship efforts by emphasizing long-term, innovative solutions for the safe collection and processing of embedded batteries and recoverable materials such as metals and plastics, supporting a circular system within the province.The program continues to expand its collection network to maximize convenience and accessibility for adult consumers across Quebec. Participating drop-off locations are equipped with specially designed containers for safety and ease of use, with more sites planned as the program expands. Once collected, Call2Recycle’s qualified partners sort and recycle the batteries and other device components to recover valuable materials and ensure proper end-of-life management.Quebec vapers can find their nearest drop-off location and learn more about safe device and battery recycling at recycleyourvapes.ca.
