Students of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute named after Igor Sikorsky collect used disposable electronic cigarettes to turn them into an element of the drone discharge system, which is then sent to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The initiative of KPI students was told on the Facebook page of the public organization "Anti-corruption headquarters".

The initiative was joined by the Rozetka chain of stores, which will now accept used electronic disposables. Such stores are accepted in all chain stores in Kyiv. Then they are sent for processing.

The inventors already boasted of the first results. In total, more than 400 electronics, 4 power banks and several batteries of various types were collected.

The first batch of "disposables" was handed over to the engineer, and soon they promise to show the finished drones.
