Cigarette butts among the ‘most common’ items littering our streets, survey finds
, from Nobutts.ie, said the company removes the paper from the cigarette filters, clean the plastic and then render it into a new form that can be used by industry to make “any solid plastic shape”.“From being a cigarette filter which is limited to just being a piece of trash, we bring it back to a material with lots of opportunity,” Mr Wylde said.
The business currently works with a number of hotels, bars and hospitals, to ensure the cigarette butts are kept separate from rubbish bins and can be repurposed. Nobutts.ie will be releasing a range of sunglasses for the upcoming summer season, before branching out into other products later this year.
The new business idea comes after the most recent Irish Business Against Litter survey found that cigarette butts are one of the “most common” items of litter on streets across the State.said littered cigarettes can often have a huge impact on coastlines and water.
