E-cigarettes: Watch out for more inspections!

Retailers: Check your take-back obligations now! Since 1 July 2026, new German take-back and labelling requirements apply to e-cigarettes and other electrical and electronic equipment. Environmental and consumer protection organisations have announced spot checks in Germany, including in online shops. Non-compliance may lead to legal action.

E-cigarette and electronic tobacco heater suppliers must now take back used devices, even without a new purchase. This applies to all e-cigarette shops, no matter their size. Customers must also get clear information on returns, battery removal, recycling symbols and data deletion.

The new collection point logo must be easy to see in stores and online. Online shops must show it on product pages or during checkout. Retailers should also check that sales platforms and partners follow the new rules. Disposable vapes contain lithium-ion batteries and must not go in general waste.

Need help getting compliant? take-e-way can offer support from collection networks and compliant labelling to containers, transport, disposal and documentation. Whatever your question or challenge, take-e-way is here to help!
