Recycling Guarantee Cigarette Butts

Depending on the receipt of the collected cigarette butts, we provide controlled recycling channels.

These are modern pyrolysis installations that process non-organic and organic substances, including toxic substances, into usable gases, fertilizers or fuel pellets.

In addition, there is the material cycle for exclusively dry and separately collected smoke waste (without noticeable foreign gases).

Then there are highly developed biogas plants that can convert separated smoke waste (ash, tobacco and paper, including the toxic substances) into biofuel, fertilizer or even hydrogen, with bacteria working in closed systems. The remaining non-organic substances, such as those from the filter (purified cellulose acetate), can be sorted again in the plastics processing (injection molding of recycled material).

The possibilities of the 3D printing process are also being expanded with the processing of granulates, in particular cellulose acetate. At the moment it is still more cost-effective to make filament from granulates than from rolls.

We always use the best possible regional recycling, so that ecological and economic factors are optimally aligned.
