About Us
Our Vision
"A butt free environment"
We see a future where cigarette butts are recycled, with the products created having a further positive impact on the community.
Our Mission
We promote awareness campaigns on the impact of littering cigarette butts, with the aim to make people think twice before carelessly discarding their butts. We assist in the beautification and regeneration of our natural environment, through participation or coordination of clean-up events. We will work with reputable institues to research potential uses for used tobacco filters and advocate for the ban of tobacco filters..
Our Approach
• Re-educate - We re-educate people, businesses, government and organisations on the importance of correct disposal, options for awareness programs and infrastructure and advocate for the removal of tobacco filters.
• Retrieve - We retrieve cigarette butts from where they have been discarded. This promotes the preservation and recovery of the natural environment. We will collaborate with other organisations and collect and share data.
•Research - We work across research foundations to identify potential recycling methods.
• Remove - We advocate for a ban on plastic tobacco filters..
Our Team
We are comprised entirely of volunteers - from those that pick up butts and coordinate events, to those that manage social media and business engagements. Our Directors are also volunteers. Visit our Volunteer page to see the current opportunities that exist.
