Dataset of "Wasting of Critical Raw Materials in Batteries for Single-Use E-Cigarettes "

This paper focuses on the use of lithium-ion batteries in single-use e-cigarettes, examining their material composition and impact on the waste of critical raw materials. The consumption of these single-use e-cigarettes, which employ lithium-ion cells with a potential lifespan of several hundred cycles if reused, leads to the waste of critical and strategic raw materials in the Czech Republic alone. These discarded materials could have been used to manufacture several thousand batterypacks for electric vehicles annually.
