Canada’s cannabis vape market has exploded, with 2 gram carts and disposable vapes now representing over 30% of all cannabis sales—yet no comprehensive federal regulations govern their disposal. This regulatory gap has created an environmental crisis: lithium batteries, heavy metals, and residual cannabis oil are contaminating landfills and waterways across the country, while consumers remain largely unaware they may be violating hazardous waste laws with every discarded cartridge.
The problem extends far beyond individual responsibility. Indigenous communities, particularly those near urban waste facilities, disproportionately bear the environmental burden of improper vape disposal. Water contamination from leaching batteries threatens traditional lands and food sources, yet these communities are rarely consulted in developing waste management policies. Meanwhile, provincial regulations vary wildly—what’s legal disposal in British Columbia may constitute an offense in Ontario—leaving consumers, retailers, and manufacturers navigating a confusing patchwork of rules.
This regulatory vacuum isn’t inevitable. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs have successfully addressed similar electronic waste challenges, and several provinces are now considering vape-specific frameworks. Legal advocates are leveraging environmental protection laws to hold manufacturers accountable, while grassroots movements are demanding transparent supply chains and accessible take-back programs.
Understanding the current regulatory landscape isn’t just about compliance—it’s about environmental justice, protecting vulnerable communities, and reshaping an industry that prioritized convenience over sustainability. This article examines existing regulations, identifies legal responsibilities, explores environmental impacts through an Indigenous lens, and provides actionable pathways for proper disposal and systemic change.
The 2-Gram Problem: Understanding Today’s Vape Waste Challenge
What Makes 2-Gram Cartridges Different
Two-gram vape cartridges represent a significant escalation in material consumption compared to their smaller predecessors. These larger units contain approximately double the cannabis oil—typically between 1.8 to 2 grams—housed in correspondingly larger plastic or glass reservoirs. The increased size demands more substantial heating elements, often incorporating additional metal coils made from stainless steel or ceramic materials.
The battery component in 2-gram devices is particularly concerning from a waste perspective. These units require higher-capacity lithium-ion batteries, sometimes reaching 400-600mAh compared to 280mAh in standard 1-gram cartridges, to vaporize the larger oil volume. This means more lithium, cobalt, and other metals per unit—materials often sourced through mining practices that disproportionately impact Indigenous territories globally.
Beyond the battery, 2-gram products use nearly double the plastic housing, metal threading, and silicone seals. When discarded, they frequently contain residual cannabis oil—sometimes 10-15% of the original volume remains unused. This residual oil, combined with the battery chemicals and plastic components, creates a complex waste stream that requires specialized handling. For environmentally-conscious consumers, understanding this composition is essential: each 2-gram cartridge represents a substantially larger environmental footprint that current Canadian regulations struggle to address adequately.
The Scale of the Waste Stream
Canada’s vaping waste crisis has reached alarming proportions. While comprehensive national data remains limited, provincial estimates suggest millions of disposable vapes enter the waste stream annually. In British Columbia alone, environmental advocates estimate over 5 million single-use vapes were discarded in 2023, with 2-gram cartridges representing a rapidly growing segment as consumers seek higher-capacity products.
Each discarded vape cartridge contains lithium batteries, heavy metals like lead and mercury, plastic components, and residual cannabis oil—creating a complex hazardous waste challenge. The environmental cost of vaping extends beyond landfills, as improperly disposed cartridges leach toxic chemicals into soil and waterways, disproportionately affecting Indigenous territories where cannabis retailers often cluster near reserve boundaries.
Comparatively, vape waste grows faster than traditional e-waste categories. While Canada collected approximately 44,000 tonnes of electronic waste in 2022, cannabis vaping products—excluded from most provincial e-waste programs—represent an untracked stream with unique contamination risks. Indigenous environmental monitors in Ontario have documented vape cartridges accumulating in traditional fishing areas, highlighting how regulatory gaps create localized environmental injustices that demand immediate attention.
Current Federal Regulations: Where Cannabis Vape Waste Falls Through the Cracks
The Cannabis Act and Packaging Requirements
The Cannabis Act, administered by Health Canada, establishes comprehensive packaging requirements for cannabis vape products—but these regulations prioritize consumer safety and marketing restrictions rather than environmental stewardship. Current packaging rules mandate plain packaging, child-resistant features, health warnings, and strict limitations on branding to prevent youth appeal. While these measures effectively address public health concerns, they create a notable regulatory gap: there are no federal requirements for recyclability, biodegradability, or end-of-life disposal instructions.
This oversight means manufacturers face no legal obligation to design products with environmental considerations or inform consumers about proper disposal methods. The regulations focus heavily on what goes *into* the packaging—tamper-evident seals, standardized fonts, and warning symbols—but remain silent on what happens *after* consumption. For Indigenous communities already facing disproportionate environmental burdens from industrial waste, this gap represents a missed opportunity to embed environmental justice principles into cannabis regulation from the outset.
The result is a system where vape cartridges and disposables, often containing batteries, plastic components, and residual cannabis oil, enter the waste stream without clear guidance. This regulatory blind spot leaves consumers uncertain about proper disposal and municipalities struggling to manage contaminated materials.
E-Waste and Battery Regulations
Vape cartridges and disposables fall into a regulatory grey zone under Canada’s federal e-waste framework. While provinces have enacted Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs requiring manufacturers to fund recycling systems for electronics and batteries, vape products rarely receive clear classification. British Columbia’s EPR regulations technically cover vape devices containing lithium-ion batteries, yet collection infrastructure remains virtually non-existent in most communities.
The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment established guidelines for battery stewardship in 2009, mandating producer responsibility for rechargeable batteries. However, enforcement remains inconsistent, and many vape manufacturers—particularly international companies—operate outside these frameworks without consequence. This creates an environmental justice issue, as improper disposal disproportionately impacts communities near landfills, including Indigenous territories already burdened by industrial waste.
Indigenous environmental monitors in Northern Ontario have documented vape waste accumulation in community landfills, where lithium batteries pose fire hazards and leach toxic metals into groundwater. Without explicit federal regulations designating vape products as regulated e-waste, communities lack legal tools to hold producers accountable. Environmental advocates are pushing for amendments to EPR legislation that would explicitly include all vaping devices, establishing clear collection systems and penalizing non-compliant manufacturers while respecting Indigenous jurisdiction over waste management on their lands.
Hazardous Waste Classification
Under Canada’s federal environmental framework, vape cartridges and disposables present a dual hazardous waste challenge that many users don’t realize they’re creating. The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) classifies materials as hazardous based on their ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. Residual cannabis oils within cartridges can contain elevated levels of heavy metals like lead and nickel from heating coils, alongside pesticide residues, potentially meeting toxicity thresholds. More critically, the lithium-ion batteries powering these devices are definitively hazardous—they’re flammable, reactive, and contain toxic materials including cobalt and lithium salts.
What makes this particularly concerning is the gap between classification and practice. While these components technically qualify as hazardous waste requiring specialized disposal, most provinces lack accessible collection infrastructure. This means thousands of Canadians unknowingly violate environmental regulations weekly by tossing vapes into household garbage, where crushed batteries can ignite in collection trucks or leach toxins into landfills. Indigenous communities near disposal sites face disproportionate exposure to these contaminants, as many reserves are situated adjacent to waste management facilities. Understanding this classification isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about recognizing the systemic failure to provide proper disposal pathways and advocating for industry accountability in managing the hazardous products they profit from creating.
Provincial Patchwork: How Each Region Tackles Vape Disposal
Leading Provinces: BC and Quebec’s Approaches
British Columbia and Quebec have emerged as national leaders in addressing vape waste through comprehensive Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs. BC’s regulation, which took effect in 2020, requires vape product manufacturers and distributors to join Stewardship Agencies of BC, creating collection infrastructure across the province. This means-tested approach has established over 200 collection sites, though accessibility remains limited in rural and remote communities, including many Indigenous territories.
Quebec’s system, administered under RECYC-QUÉBEC, mandates that producers fund and manage the entire lifecycle of their products, including cartridges and disposables. The province has achieved collection rates approaching 35% for electronic waste containing batteries—significantly higher than the national average of under 10%. However, advocates note that even these leading provinces face challenges with enforcement and ensuring proper handling of lithium batteries, which pose fire hazards when improperly processed.
Both provinces demonstrate that regulatory frameworks can work when producers bear financial responsibility, yet gaps persist in education and equitable access to collection services. Indigenous environmental organizations in BC have partnered with stewardship programs to establish culturally-appropriate collection initiatives, creating models other provinces could adopt to ensure no community is left behind in protecting lands and waters from toxic vape waste.
The Regulatory Void in Other Jurisdictions
While British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba have pioneered vape waste regulations, most Canadian provinces and territories operate in what advocates call a “regulatory void.” Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and all three territories currently lack specific legislation addressing disposable vape cartridge waste, leaving these items in a legal grey zone between general electronic waste and hazardous materials.
This regulatory absence creates tangible consequences. Communities without designated collection programs report vape devices accumulating in parks, waterways, and urban spaces. The lithium batteries within these products pose fire risks in landfills, while leaked e-liquids—containing nicotine, propylene glycol, and flavoring chemicals—contaminate soil and groundwater. Indigenous communities in remote regions face particular challenges, as limited waste infrastructure means improperly discarded vapes remain in the environment indefinitely, threatening traditional food sources and water quality.
Environmental monitoring in unregulated jurisdictions reveals disturbing trends: wildlife ingestion incidents, microplastic contamination from degraded plastic casings, and heavy metal leaching from batteries. Without producer responsibility frameworks, manufacturers face no accountability for end-of-life management, effectively transferring environmental costs to communities already struggling with inadequate waste services. This gap underscores the urgent need for national coordination and Indigenous-led solutions that recognize the interconnectedness of land, water, and community health.
Municipal Burden and Local Initiatives
Faced with mounting vape waste and limited provincial guidance, Canadian municipalities are stepping up with grassroots solutions. Vancouver launched a pilot program in 2023 partnering with local dispensaries to establish take-back bins, diverting approximately 15,000 units from landfills in the first six months. Toronto’s education campaign features multilingual materials explaining proper battery disposal, reaching diverse communities often overlooked in environmental messaging.
Several municipalities are collaborating with Indigenous-led environmental groups to develop culturally appropriate collection initiatives. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation near Vancouver created a community collection day that combines traditional teachings about land stewardship with modern waste management education, successfully engaging youth in environmental protection.
However, these local efforts reveal a troubling pattern: municipalities bear the financial and logistical burden while manufacturers profit without accountability. Small towns lack resources for specialized hazardous waste programs, creating environmental justice issues. Halifax estimates spending $50,000 annually managing vape waste that should be industry’s responsibility. These innovative municipal programs, while commendable, underscore the urgent need for comprehensive provincial and federal extended producer responsibility regulations to ensure equitable, sustainable solutions across all Canadian communities.
Environmental and Health Impacts: What Happens When Vapes Enter Our Ecosystems
Toxic Leaching and Waterway Contamination
When improperly disposed vape cartridges end up in landfills or natural environments, they become ticking environmental time bombs. Lithium-ion batteries—the power source in disposable vapes—contain corrosive electrolytes that break down protective casings over time. Once exposed to moisture, these batteries release lithium salts, cobalt, nickel, and manganese that seep into soil and eventually contaminate groundwater supplies.
The heavy metals in cartridge heating elements pose additional risks. Lead, chromium, and cadmium migrate through soil layers, concentrating in water sources communities rely on for drinking water. Residual vape oils containing propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin create a toxic cocktail when combined with these metals, amplifying the cannabis industry’s environmental impact.
A 2023 study near a Toronto-area landfill detected elevated lithium levels—300% above safe drinking water standards—in nearby stream systems. Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario have raised alarms about contamination patterns near disposal sites, noting fish die-offs and changes in traditional water sources.
In British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, environmental monitoring documented propylene glycol contamination traced to improperly discarded vape waste in municipal systems. These case studies reveal a disturbing pattern: without proper collection infrastructure, vape waste doesn’t simply disappear—it transforms into persistent pollutants affecting ecosystems and human health for generations. The leaching process can continue for decades, making immediate regulatory action essential to protect Canada’s watersheds.
Impacts on Indigenous Lands and Traditional Territories
Indigenous communities across Canada face disproportionate harm from vape cartridge waste, particularly those located near landfills, waste transfer stations, and illegal dumping sites. These facilities are frequently situated on or adjacent to traditional territories, placing Indigenous peoples on the frontlines of environmental contamination without their free, prior, and informed consent.
The impacts extend beyond immediate disposal sites. Lithium batteries from disposable vapes can leach heavy metals into watersheds, threatening fish populations that sustain food sovereignty for many First Nations. Microplastics from degraded cartridges accumulate in traditional hunting and gathering areas, compromising medicinal plants and wildlife that hold cultural and spiritual significance.
Elder Margaret Lavallee from Treaty 6 territory explains: “When the land is poisoned, we cannot practice our ways. These toxic materials disrupt the reciprocal relationship we’ve maintained with the earth for thousands of years.”
Despite existing federal environmental protection frameworks, enforcement remains inadequate in safeguarding Indigenous lands. Many communities lack infrastructure for proper hazardous waste disposal, forcing residents to manage materials that require specialized handling.
Progressive solutions are emerging through collaboration. The Anishinabek Nation has partnered with environmental organizations to develop culturally-informed waste management programs that honour traditional ecological knowledge while addressing modern contamination challenges. These initiatives demonstrate that effective regulation requires centering Indigenous voices and respecting inherent rights to land stewardship.
Addressing vape waste on Indigenous territories isn’t merely an environmental issue—it’s a matter of upholding treaty obligations, recognizing sovereignty, and ensuring environmental justice for communities who have protected these lands since time immemorial.
Legal Accountability: Who Bears Responsibility?
Producer Responsibility Under Canadian Law
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) represents a policy approach where manufacturers bear financial and physical responsibility for their products throughout the entire lifecycle—from production to end-of-life disposal. Under EPR frameworks, companies that produce vape cartridges and disposable devices would be legally obligated to establish collection systems, fund recycling programs, and ensure safe disposal of their products.
Canada has successfully implemented EPR programs for electronics, batteries, and packaging across multiple provinces. British Columbia’s electronics recycling program, managed through the Electronic Products Recycling Association, has diverted over 150,000 tonnes of e-waste from landfills since 2007. Similarly, Ontario’s battery stewardship program requires manufacturers to collect and recycle batteries at no cost to consumers. These precedents demonstrate that EPR works when properly enforced.
However, vape products currently fall into a regulatory gap. While they contain lithium-ion batteries similar to electronics and hazardous materials like heavy metals, most provinces haven’t explicitly included them in existing EPR frameworks. This absence reflects broader challenges with corporate accountability for pollution, where manufacturers profit without bearing environmental costs.
Legal advocates and Indigenous environmental groups are pushing for vape-specific EPR legislation that would require manufacturers to fund collection infrastructure in remote communities, support environmental remediation, and provide transparent reporting on product volumes and disposal rates—creating true accountability for this growing waste stream.
Consumer Obligations and Enforcement Challenges
Under Canadian law, consumers bear responsibility for properly disposing of vape cartridges and disposables through designated hazardous waste facilities or retail take-back programs where available. However, compliance rates remain disappointingly low—industry estimates suggest fewer than 10% of used vapes reach proper recycling channels.
Several barriers explain this gap. Many Canadians remain unaware that vapes contain lithium-ion batteries classified as hazardous waste, or simply don’t know where to take them. Convenience plays a significant role; when the nearest approved drop-off location is kilometers away, busy consumers often choose their household trash instead. In remote and northern communities, particularly those with predominantly Indigenous populations, access to e-waste facilities can be virtually non-existent, creating systemic inequities in compliance opportunities.
Enforcement presents formidable challenges. Tracking individual disposal violations is resource-intensive and practically impossible. Provincial and territorial governments typically lack dedicated staff to monitor vape waste streams, focusing limited enforcement capacity on larger commercial violations instead.
This enforcement vacuum means the burden falls disproportionately on conscientious consumers while others face no consequences. Indigenous environmental advocates have called for manufacturer accountability systems rather than consumer-focused penalties, arguing that producer responsibility would address the root cause. Without stronger regulatory frameworks holding manufacturers accountable, consumer compliance alone cannot solve Canada’s growing vape waste crisis.
Legal Action and Advocacy: Pushing for Stronger Regulations
Current Legal Challenges and Petitions
Several legal initiatives are pushing for stronger vape waste accountability across Canada. The Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) filed a formal petition in 2023 urging Environment and Climate Change Canada to classify single-use vapes as toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. This designation would trigger mandatory producer responsibility programs and stricter disposal requirements.
In British Columbia, environmental advocacy groups partnered with Coast Salish communities to challenge the province’s extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework, arguing it inadequately addresses lithium battery contamination in traditional territories. The petition calls for culturally-informed collection sites and consultation protocols recognizing Indigenous jurisdiction over land stewardship.
Quebec faces ongoing litigation regarding inadequate enforcement of existing vape product regulations. Municipal governments have launched joint legal actions demanding provincial funding for hazardous waste infrastructure overwhelmed by disposable vape disposal.
Meanwhile, the Zero Waste Coalition’s national campaign has gathered over 50,000 signatures demanding federal single-use vape bans. Their legal brief highlights Charter-based environmental rights arguments, asserting communities have constitutional protection from toxic product proliferation.
These legal challenges represent growing recognition that voluntary compliance has failed. Advocates emphasize that meaningful change requires binding regulations with enforcement mechanisms—not industry self-regulation that prioritizes profit over environmental and community health.
Collaborative Solutions: Indigenous Communities Leading the Way
Across Canada, Indigenous communities are pioneering innovative approaches to combat vape waste by combining traditional ecological knowledge with modern environmental advocacy. In British Columbia, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation has partnered with the David Suzuki Foundation to establish culturally-informed waste management protocols that address lithium battery contamination in traditional territories. Their holistic approach recognizes that pollution affects not just land, but the interconnected relationships between water, wildlife, and community health.
Meanwhile, the Anishinabek Nation in Ontario has collaborated with Environmental Defence to develop legal frameworks demanding extended producer responsibility for vape manufacturers. This partnership resulted in a landmark submission to Environment and Climate Change Canada, calling for mandatory take-back programs and corporate accountability. These communities understand that environmental protection requires collective climate action rooted in both Indigenous sovereignty and legal strategy.
The Assembly of First Nations has also amplified these efforts nationally, advocating for consultation requirements that ensure Indigenous voices shape federal vape waste regulations. By centering Indigenous leadership in policy discussions, these collaborations demonstrate how traditional stewardship principles can inform effective, culturally-responsive environmental solutions.
What Effective Regulation Could Look Like
Mandatory Take-Back Programs
Mandatory take-back programs, also known as extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes, require manufacturers and retailers to accept used products for proper disposal or recycling. These programs shift disposal responsibility from municipalities and consumers back to those who profit from product sales.
In European Union countries, electronics retailers must accept old devices when customers purchase new ones, creating convenient drop-off points. France has successfully implemented take-back programs for e-cigarettes, requiring tobacco shops and pharmacies to collect used vaping products. This model prevents lithium batteries and toxic residues from entering landfills while holding manufacturers financially accountable for end-of-life management.
British Columbia leads Canada with its comprehensive EPR framework for various products, though vape cartridges remain largely unaddressed. The province’s electronics take-back program, managed by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association, demonstrates how industry-funded systems can achieve high recovery rates—over 90% for some product categories.
For vape waste specifically, manufacturers could establish collection sites at dispensaries and convenience stores, similar to battery recycling kiosks. Indigenous communities, disproportionately affected by inadequate waste infrastructure, could benefit significantly from culturally appropriate take-back initiatives that respect traditional land stewardship values. Such programs would acknowledge that environmental responsibility doesn’t end at the point of sale, but continues throughout a product’s entire lifecycle.
Design Standards and Circular Economy Principles
Canada urgently needs comprehensive design standards that shift vape cartridge manufacturing from a linear “take-make-dispose” model to a circular economy approach. Currently, most vape products are designed for single use, with proprietary threading systems that prevent refilling and mixed materials that make recycling nearly impossible. This wasteful design is not inevitable—it’s a choice that regulations can change.
Proposed regulations should mandate **refillable cartridge designs** with standardized threading compatible across brands, similar to how light bulbs fit universal sockets. This would eliminate the need for consumers to purchase entirely new cartridges, dramatically reducing waste. Industry resistance to standardization often centers on proprietary concerns, but public health and environmental protection must take precedence over corporate convenience.
**Material requirements** should prioritize easily separable components—metal, glass, and food-grade plastics that can be efficiently recycled. Current cartridges combine multiple materials with adhesives, making them essentially non-recyclable. Regulations could require manufacturers to use mechanical fasteners instead of glues, allowing consumers or recycling facilities to disassemble products for proper material recovery.
Indigenous communities have long practiced circular resource management, understanding that everything we take from the earth must eventually return to it. The Haudenosaunee Seventh Generation Principle—considering the impact of decisions seven generations into the future—offers a powerful framework for evaluating vape product design. When we mandate products that can be refilled, repaired, and recycled, we honor this wisdom while protecting the land and water that sustains all communities.
What You Can Do: Individual and Collective Action
Proper Disposal Methods Today
Currently, responsible disposal of 2-gram vape cartridges requires navigating a patchwork of municipal programs across Canada. Many cities offer household hazardous waste collection days where lithium batteries and electronic waste are accepted—check your municipality’s website for scheduled events. Some cannabis retailers have begun voluntary take-back programs, recognizing their role in the product lifecycle, though these remain inconsistent nationwide.
E-waste recycling facilities registered with provincial stewardship programs can properly handle vape devices by separating batteries, metals, and plastics for appropriate processing. Never dispose of vapes in regular garbage or recycling bins, as lithium batteries pose fire risks in collection trucks and sorting facilities.
Indigenous communities have pioneered innovative waste management collaborations, partnering with environmental organizations to establish culturally-appropriate collection programs. These initiatives demonstrate how traditional ecological knowledge combined with modern recycling infrastructure creates effective solutions.
Contact your local environmental services department to locate nearby drop-off locations. If options are limited in your area, consider joining advocacy efforts pushing for mandatory producer responsibility programs that would require manufacturers to fund and operate comprehensive take-back systems across all Canadian communities.
Advocacy and Policy Engagement
Canadians concerned about vape waste have powerful opportunities to influence policy change. Start by contacting your Member of Parliament and provincial representatives to express support for comprehensive e-waste regulations that specifically address cannabis vaping products. Request meetings to discuss Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs—systems that require manufacturers to manage product end-of-life disposal.
Support organizations like Ecojustice and West Coast Environmental Law that pursue legal strategies for environmental protection. These groups often seek public input on strategic litigation and regulatory reform campaigns. Participate in Environment and Climate Change Canada’s public consultations on waste regulations, where your voice directly shapes federal policy.
Collaborate with Indigenous-led environmental initiatives, recognizing that many First Nations communities face disproportionate impacts from improper waste disposal. Organizations like the Indigenous Climate Action network often coordinate advocacy efforts that centre traditional ecological knowledge alongside modern regulatory frameworks.
Join municipal consultations about local waste management bylaws. Many cities are developing innovative approaches to hazardous waste collection that could serve as models for provincial and federal action. Your participation in these grassroots processes creates momentum for broader systemic change while addressing immediate community concerns.
The vape waste crisis facing Canada demands immediate and decisive action. As millions of lithium-containing cartridges and disposables enter our landfills, waterways, and ecosystems each year, the window to prevent irreversible environmental harm continues to narrow. Current provincial patchwork regulations have proven insufficient to address the scale of contamination threatening our soils, waters, and the traditional territories of Indigenous communities who have been stewards of these lands since time immemorial.
Comprehensive federal regulations must establish clear producer responsibility, standardized collection systems, and enforceable penalties for non-compliance. However, regulatory change alone cannot solve this crisis—it requires the collective power of informed citizens, dedicated legal professionals, and Indigenous knowledge-holders working together to hold corporations accountable and protect our shared environment.
Legal action, whether through class-action lawsuits, public interest litigation, or regulatory complaints, serves as a critical tool for driving systemic change. When communities unite their voices with legal expertise, they create undeniable pressure for industry transformation and government accountability.
The future of Canada’s ecosystems depends on our willingness to act now. Join Nature’s Resilience Canada in advocating for stronger regulations, supporting Indigenous-led conservation initiatives, and holding vape manufacturers accountable for their environmental footprint. Together, through strategic legal action and grassroots mobilization, we can ensure that future generations inherit lands and waters free from toxic vape waste contamination. Your voice matters—speak up, take action, and be part of the solution.
