About Zippo

Long-term use and brand responsibility

Understand how refillable, maintainable design supports continued use.

01 Refillable and maintainable

Refilling and replacing consumable parts support continued use of a windproof lighter. Zippo also describes manufacturing recycling, packaging and resource-management efforts. Follow the Taiwan service terms for local repair coverage.

02 Everyday care

  • Match fuel and consumables to the product; do not interchange lighter fluid and butane.
  • Maintain the wick and replace the flint based on condition rather than a universal monthly schedule.
  • Stop use and request advice for structural faults or abnormal operation.
  • Dispose of rechargeable products, containers and other waste through the appropriate local collection route.

03 Environmental information and service scope

Reusability is a design feature, not a claim that every use has no environmental impact or that all products have the same warranty. Manufacturing and packaging measures may change; check the specific product and current manufacturer information when documentation is needed.
