It is unavoidable and comes with the market terrain. "Disposables [still] have a legitimate place in the next-gen- eration nicotine toolkit, so we will continue offering [them] for as long as this is allowed," Jones said. However, he also insisted that Innokin actively encouraged its customers to transition to refillable devices wherever possible. "It generates less waste, costs less money over time, and delivers the best technology our engineers have developed." A valuable nudge into the right direction Emphasizing refillability certainly is one of the ways to eventually guide the industry away from consumer-dictated disposables and towards wholesomely sustainable products. But recyclability is another cornerstone of that drive. Considering the negative en- vironmental impact of disposables, a refillable device that at the same time also is fully recyclable, could be a winning formula. "Like other refillable pods or pod mods, the Endura S1 has a metallic chassis, Li-ion battery, cotton and PCTG tank shell and it can be disassembled for recycling," claimed Jones. However, the devil is in the details. Use brute force and you can "disas- semble" pretty much anything.
