: I'm doing an assignment for Uni and need to locate information on Disposable Cameras. ie the date the first disposable camera was released. What makes up a disposable camera. I don't need to know how much they cost. This is the only info I can seem to locate.

Fuji introduced the first disposable camera in 1986, thought the manufacturers like to use the term single-use instead of disposable. Kodak introduced their single use camera, the Fling, in 1987. Here is a link about disposables and the recycling that goes on, from the Kodak website:
