Sustainability
Vape Device Recycling Program
Take it easy knowing you're doing your part to help the planet with Halara.
If You Know Halara, You Know Sustainability Matters to Us
We've always built our products differently — glass cartridges, ceramic heating elements, medical-grade stainless steel. No plastic, no adhesives, no microplastics in your oil. But making a cleaner product wasn't enough.
In the summer of 2023, we launched our proprietary battery recycling program alongside our all-in-one device. We were frustrated with the lack of responsible disposal options in the cannabis industry. Dead vapes were ending up in landfills — leaking lithium, heavy metals, and residual oil into the ground. So we built something better.
Helping Make Recycling a Little Bit Easier
We partnered with dispensary locations throughout California to collect dead batteries and vape devices. Our US-based recycling partners safely recover materials so they stay out of landfills.

Industry data
The cannabis industry has an e-waste problem that nobody wants to talk about. Millions of lithium batteries are ending up in landfills every year. We're not going to fix this overnight, but we can start by making it easier to do the right thing.
