Vapes, chargers, and other “invisible” e-waste are a 9-million-ton problem.::Chargers, vapes, and other small electronics make up millions of tons of “invisible” e-waste each year. Recycling them could recover billions of dollars worth of precious materials.

Pretty much everything, except for the cellophane is going to degrade in a year or less. Disposable vapes are all plastic and batteries.
