From 1 June 2025, it will be illegal for businesses to sell, offer to sell or have in their possession for sale all single-use or ‘disposable’ v**es.
Government has supplied businesses with guidance on how to prepare for the ban which sets out the details on the definition of single-use v**es, as well as information about penalties retailers could face for continuing to sell disposables after the June 1 ban on their sale comes into force.
To prepare for the ban, you should:
▪️ stop buying new stock of single-use v**es
▪️ sell through all existing stock
▪️ buy v**es that follow the new regulations
From 1 June 2025, if you possess any leftover single-use va**ng products, you’ll need to:
▪️ separate them from other goods
▪️ label them as unsellable
▪️ remove them from your shopfloor or online store until they’ve been collected by a registered v**e recycling service
