A Structured Program for a Difficult Waste Stream.
VapeRenew gives Michigan organizations a structured, credible way to collect and recycle vape devices as an overlooked e-waste stream with lithium-ion battery risk.
Step 1: Explore Fit
The program begins with qualification. Prospects connect with Comprenew Customer Service to discuss whether the program is a good operational fit and what next steps make sense for their organization in Michigan.
Customer Service-Led
Qualification
A managed program, not casual sign-up.
Defined Collection Model
Structured from collection through receipt.
Step 2: Get Set Up
Qualified collectors receive a startup kit designed to support active participation. The program uses a consumer-facing collection container and a larger, secure storage container to support structured collection and pickup.
Step 3: Collect and Store Properly
Once the program is in place, collected devices move through a defined collection flow rather than being handled casually. The goal is to support safer, clearer on-site collection and storage while the material remains in the customer’s environment.
Managed Pickup
Controlled logistics strengthen credibility.
Step 4: Request Pickup
When the collection process reaches the right point, the customer contacts Comprenew to initiate pickup. VapeRenew is a managed service, which means pickup and ongoing participation are part of a structured operational model rather than a one-time drop-bin concept.
Documentation and
Certificates of Recycling
Supports accountability after collection & pickup.
Step 5: Responsible Processing
Returned materials move into Comprenew’s managed process for receiving, audit, and downstream recycling. The program is backed by real logistics discipline, documentation, and responsible material management rather than improvised disposal. Certificates of recycling are issued as standard practice.
