Sustainability policy proposals affecting the cannabis/hemp vape sector in the EU, March 2023

The cannabis/hemp vape industry in the European Union is still under increasing regulatory compliance pressure, with new rules that would introduce obligations ranging from waste management to the phasing out of certain batteries.

The European Commission has issued a proposal for a revision of EU legislation on packaging and packaging waste, which could have profound long-term consequences for the vaping industry.

The aim of this report is to analyse EU legal developments related to the environment that are most likely to impact the cannabis/hemp vape sector.
