    Out of curiosity, what do you think Berlin’s secret is in this regard? Like, do people naturally not litter e-waste, or are there easier recycling options, import restrictions, or enforced litter laws?

      Assuming that you’re living in the US I think the secret is that disposable vapes aren’t as abundant in Germany yet.

        Yeah, I’m hoping to get at why. Drop-shipped disposables took over Juul’s market in the US and then grew it by about 600%. It was so dramatic (in a business sense) that it’s caused ripples in US and UK trade policy, and I just assumed that blitz was happening everywhere.

        i would guess near night clubs and the like… they’re more likely to use them, and drunk people are more likely to toss them willy nilly…

      People probably have the slightest bit of respect for their city and don’t feel like trashing it.
