Greenbutts – Biodegradable plantable cigarette filters!!!

May 26, 2010 in Health & Medicine, Nature & Environment, Technology

A company called Greenbutts has developed are all-natural, it is a 100% biodegradable filters, furthermore when thrown on soil the inner seed becomes grass shoots or even flowers. It aims to solve the problem of cigarettes filters today that take up to 15 years to disintegrate. And apparently it makes cigarettes taste better.

Throw it and grow it

This is an all-new bio-cigarettes that is additive and chemical-free tobacco plus it contains natural biodegradable filters.Plant your butts instead of leaving them in an ashtray and watch them grow. Made with all-natural hemp and cotton blend it can be combined with various types of seeds.

Imagine throwing butts in your garden and next your you have nice colorful flowers. But try and throw them in the right places…not on the pavement even if it will still disintegrate quicker.

Compared to Old technology

Most cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate. Technically it is biodegradable, practically it’s not very true. The duration of the degradation process can take as long as 10–15 years. When you think 4.5 trillion cigarette butts become litter every year and this number is growing, this means 10-15 is way to long. In the 2006, cigarettes constituted 24.7% of the total collected pieces of garbage, 2x than any other category. Further more filters slowly degrade into the ground and water supplies with the cellulose acetate and other chemical particles that are suspected of causing harm in humans,
