Glastonbury asks festivalgoers not to bring disposable vapes

The electronic devices, which simulate tobacco smoking, run on lithium batteries and are not rechargeable, meaning they are single-use products. Some estimates suggest about 1.3m are thrown away each week in the UK.

The organisers of Glastonbury festival, which takes place from Wednesday 21 June to Monday 26 June at Worthy Farm in Somerset, have added disposable vapes to a list of items not to bring, which also includes knives, gazebos and nonbiodegradable body glitter.

The festival's website says: "They pollute the environment and can be hazardous at waste centers [sic]."

Industry experts warned last month that disposable vapes were to blame for a dramatic rise in fires at recycling plants over the past year.
