VODO BAR: Pioneering Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable E-Cigarette Solutions
As the rapid proliferation of electronic devices continues, their frequent upgrades and disposals pose significant environmental hazards. These discarded devices accumulate in the environment, impacting wildlife, plants, microorganisms, and ultimately, humans. Not only do they cause pollution, but their production also consumes substantial resources, making the disposal of electronic waste a severe wastage of resources.
In the 21st century, with rising awareness of health and environmental issues, many countries have established recycling systems for electronic waste and have shifted towards using eco-friendly, recyclable materials in product design【EPA on E-Waste】.
In the realm of e-cigarettes, the materials used include structural components, electronic parts, packaging materials, and auxiliary materials. Structural components mainly consist of metal and plastic parts; electronic parts include PCBA boards and battery cells; packaging materials involve paper products and eco-friendly PE, among others【Journal of Cleaner Production】. Here’s an in-depth look at the materials used in e-cigarette components.
1. Atomizer Coil Components
Typically composed of the coil cap, sealing ring, organic cotton, heating wire, insulation ring, electrode, and coil external threads.
- Electrode (Material: Copper, Recyclable)
- Insulation Ring (Material: Silicone, Recyclable)
- Sealing Ring (Material: Silicone, Recyclable)
- Coil External Threads (Material: Copper or Stainless Steel, Recyclable)
- Heating Wire (Material: Nickel-Chromium Alloy, Recyclable)
- Organic Cotton (Material: Organic Cotton, Recyclable)
- Coil Cap (Material: Copper or Stainless Steel, Recyclable)
The coil cap is made from C3604 copper or SUS303 stainless steel, both of which are high-quality, recyclable materials with minimal environmental impact. The sealing rings and insulation rings are made of silicone, a stable, non-toxic material that, although more challenging to recycle than thermoplastics, has undeniable recycling value【Silicone Recycling】.
Organic cotton used in the coil is a natural, pollution-free material, grown without chemical substances, highlighting its eco-friendly and sustainable properties【Organic Cotton Facts】. The heating wire is typically made from a nickel-chromium alloy, a recyclable material. The electrodes, usually made from C3604 copper plated with nickel or gold for conductivity and weldability, are also recyclable.
2. Atomizer Components
The atomizer is typically made up of the mouthpiece, mouthpiece holder, oil cup, air duct, atomizer base, coil, sealing ring, and atomizer electrodes.
- Mouthpiece (Material: Copper, Stainless Steel, POM, PC, Recyclable)
- Mouthpiece Holder (Material: Copper or Stainless Steel, Recyclable)
- Oil Cup (Material: Quartz Glass, Recyclable)
- Air Duct (Material: Stainless Steel, Recyclable)
The mouthpiece, often made from food-grade SUS303 stainless steel, POM, or PC, is designed for direct contact with the user’s mouth and must be safe and durable【Food Grade Materials】. Stainless steel and thermoplastics like POM and PC are recyclable, supporting sustainable usage. The oil cup, which stores the e-liquid, is typically made from quartz glass for its transparency and resistance to corrosion. Quartz glass is recyclable through both heated and non-heated methods, minimizing environmental impact【Quartz Glass Recycling】.
3. Battery Components
Battery components include the battery casing, PCBA boards, and other related parts. These components are designed to be safe and environmentally friendly, supporting efficient recycling processes【Battery Recycling】.
