Did you know that there are special environmental requirements for businesses manufacturing, distributing and selling electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)? Late last year, the Environmental Protection Agency added e-cigarettes, vape pens and certain e-liquids as hazardous waste pharmaceuticals under a final rule entitled “Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Amendment to the P075 Listing for Nicotine.” The rule requires companies to provide certain training, complete reporting, and maintain recordkeeping, among other obligations. Failure to comply can result in enforcement and penalties.
If you manufacture or distribute ENDS products, please let us know how we can help you comply with these regulations.
