Listen to the interview in the audio below.
Vapes were advertised as an alternative to cigarettes that were healthier and created less litter than the cigarettes.
However, as vapes became more expensive disposable vapes became increasingly popular.
Unfortunately, after a short lifespan they end up tossed into a bin to end up in a landfill.
However, three young entrepreneurs have come up with an extremely useful way to upcycle them.
These disposable vapes use rechargeable batteries and One More Time is saving them from the landfill and turning them into power banks.
“Inside of this single use device, there is a lot of valuable material that we can use.”
- Dante Roumega, Co-founder and MD at One More Time
The power banks are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also good for the environment as they are made out of these recycled goods.
These power banks cost R299, and you can find any information on their website.
