Climate Change (Single Use Vaping Products) Regulations
Overview
Regulations, to be made under the Climate Change Act 2022, are proposed to control the sale, supply, and distribution of single use vaping products in the course of a business, or the activities of a charity or non-profit organisation.
Under the Climate Change Plan 2022-2027 and the Single Use Plastic Reduction Plan for the Isle of Man Community, we aim to reduce unnecessary single use items, and especially the use of plastics, where alternatives are available. Litter from single use vapes has increased rapidly with their increased use, posing a risk to the environment, despite reusable products being readily available and affordable.
The Department of the Environment, Food, and Agriculture is interested to gauge the views of stakeholders and the public regarding the introduction of the Regulations.
