Tobacco Sticks Take Back
You have enjoyed your IQOS moment. Now what? Don't let your used tobacco sticks go to waste.
1. Get your free collection bag
You can add up to 2 free collection bags at checkout with any order on iqos.com or you can pick it up in an IQOS Boutique.
2. Collect
Collect up to 400 used tobacco sticks in each collection bag. You can mix different IQOS tobacco sticks in the same bag, but do not include anything else.
3. Return
You can drop off your filled bag at any IQOS Boutique or simply leave it in your mailbox, making sure that the detachable yellow strip of the bag is hanging visibly on the outside. Your postman will pick up the bag the next time they deliver your mail.
What happens to the returned tobacco sticks?
When you return your used sticks to us, they are collected and sent to our storage partner who is in the process of aggregating sufficient volumes for further processing. Currently, we are collaborating with various partners to identify the most efficient solution for processing and recycling our consumers’ used consumables. As the program develops, we continue to actively explore solutions that give your used sticks a second life. For more information visit regularly our FAQs.
Device Take Back
Do you have an old IQOS device in your drawer at home? Whether it still works or not, you can send it back to us for free using our Device collection bag.
1. Get your free collection bag
You can add up to 2 free collection bags at checkout with any order on iqos.com or you can directly bring back your device in any IQOS Boutique at the designated drop-off point (no collection bag needed).
2. Collect
Fill your bag with the device(s) you want to return. The bag can fit 3 or more devices depending on the model. The device does not have to be complete: you can return the Holder or Pocket Charger only.
3. Return
You can send back the filled bag for free (all bags are pre-paid) as a package via the Swiss Post (yellow mailboxes or post offices). Alternatively, you can request a pick@home on the Post app.
What happens to the returned devices?
When you are returning your old IQOS device to us you give it a second chance and support the reduction of electronic waste (e-waste).
Depending on the condition of the IQOS and the model you return, if the device is beyond repair, our recycling experts will break it down into its component parts. If it is still repairable, we refresh it and find it a new owner.

Device Care
How can you extend the life of your IQOS device?
1. Always make sure your device is running on the latest firmware.
2. It is important to charge the Pocket Charger with the manufacturer-approved power adaptor and cable.
3. To help keep your device safe and looking good, make sure to protect it from scratches and dents with our accessories.
4. Make sure you upgrade to our IQOS ILUMA, our latest device which has proven to need 71%* less replacements compared to our previous generations, thanks to its bladeless technology.
