Geek Bar develops vape supply chain charter | Features and Analysis – Convenience Store

Disposable vape manufacturer, Geek Bar, has launched a new supply chain charter to help safeguard against non-compliant and fake products bearing the brands identity entering the UK market.

The charter is the latest initiative by the company to address the challenge of illicit disposable vape products, which has led to raids by Trading Standards on retail outlets selling them. It is also designed to address sales of the companys products to minors.

In the UK, regulations state that disposable vapes should contain no more than 20mg/ml of nicotine nor have above 2ml liquid capacity. Geek Bar Pros, manufactured for non-TPD markets where regulations are different and allow higher nicotine concentrations, have been amongst the non-compliant products finding their way into the UK market.

The companys new charter covers every aspect of the supply chain, from product sourcing to sale of devices to the customer.

In the charter the company commits itself and its supply chain partners to:

Allen Yang, chief executive at Geek Bar, said: Our Charter, which has been carefully thought through, is designed to set the bar very high when it comes to disposable vape standards in the supply chain. These standards have been under scrutiny in recent months as the category has attracted significant interest and demand.

We have been working tirelessly over the last six months to review our business operations to ensure that no stone has been left unturned and ensure that adult smokers continue to enjoy the highest quality and safest vaping experience when using our products.

He added: We will not tolerate malpractice amongst distributors and retailers who want to supply and sell our products but do not do it legitimately. Through the development of the charter we are upping the ante even more to ensure rogue traders do not succeed in our marketplace.
