CIGARETTE END RECYCLING

Wouldn’t it be great if you could type into Google ‘cigarette butt recycling’ and a company popped up that did just that?

A company that actually reprocesses millions of cigarettes butts every week of every year who is totally transparent showing videos of the process being done, not one butt in a lab but on an industrial scale – cradle to grave – from butt to bench?

I wonder if such a company really (really) exists?

One that will tell you where they do it? – an actual address of an actual facility – a plant doing it on an industrial scale every day of every week.

One that will show you how they do it? - one that details the chemicals required to clean the cellulose acetate and how the spent chemicals are treated?

One that tells you how often they do it and how many tonnes of cigarette butts they recycle every week into new products?

If they were processing so many millions of butts then they’d have pictures of thousands of benches and pallets coming off large scale industrial lines wouldn’t they?

Didn’t think so?
