Recently plastic straws became victimized on social media for killing animals. But, what about cigarette litter? It’s got to be worse then straws, right? C. Moodie. A. Ford, F. Dobbie, et al. The power of product innovation: Smokers’ perceptions of capsule cigarettes, Nicotine & Tobacco Research, 2018, 20(9):1157-60, doi:10.1093/ntr/ntx195 Makes business owners bear the expense of cigarette butt and cigar tip litter cleanup around entrances, exits, sidewalks, planters, grounds, and parking lots.

Bio Fil Inc - Biodegradable Filter About Us - Bio Fil Inc - Biodegradable Filter

The cigarette filter is of a non-synthetic, bio-degradable material that decreases the global environmental impact of the carbon “footprint” of cigarettes, and may assist in providing germination of plants in the environment, further promoting carbon sequestration. This cigarette filter biodegrades at a faster rate and can help to reduce the prevalent problem of litter created by known synthetic, non-biodegradable cigarette filters in the environment.The ECO Cavitec Filter is a proprietary, patent-filed, eco-friendly filter with unique sensorial attributes, reducing the efficiency of a typical paper filter to allow for a fuller flavor delivery. Manufactured using Essentra’s market Cavitec technology, the design is customizable and can be combined with any other segments, in addition to customization for the size, cavity length, number of cavities, pressure drop and constructed material, i.e. paper or other nonwoven materials. Methods for producing paper embedded with plantable seeds are known in the art. Briefly, the paper is made by first placing wood shavings in a blending instrument and filling with heated water. The material is blended with increasing blending speed until the pulp appears smooth and uniform. A basin is filled with water with the pulp added therein. Seeds may be added to the solution and the contents of the basin are mixed. A mold is then utilized to remove the paper pulp from the water. But Elizabeth Smith, the US-based tobacco policy expert, says biodegradable filters still contain toxins that could take a long time to degrade. And smokers might feel “permitted” to litter biodegradable filters, she adds, which could make the problem worse. There is also the cost of “lost revenue.” Tourists will not spend their vacation dollars on areas where litter is prevalent or pervasive. This affects natural areas as well as urban areas. Single use plastics were banned across the EU in 2019, 64 although this does not cover plastic cigarette filters. As of 2021, tobacco companies must increase awareness of the plastic in cigarette filters and contribute financially to dealing with cigarette butts. 65 However, these measures were resisted by the tobacco industry. 66

Since then they’ve grown to supply over 225 stores in the Western Cape – and have just launched in their first Johannesburg store (Wesley’s Tobacconist in Rosebank Mall)

Greengo Biodegradable Organic Eco Slim Paper Filters

Granules of carbonaceous material can be incorporated into the filter via “dalmation” types of filter regions using the general types of techniques used for traditional dalmation filter manufacture. Prior art has included granules of carbonaceous material that is incorporated into “cavity” types of filter regions using known techniques for producing “cavity” filter manufacture. However, many techniques, well known in the art, are often rudimentary in that particulates or granules of carbonaceous material roughly inserted into the filter element as either a loose powder or a slurry, a process which is often inconsistent and inefficient. Battle Lake, Bloomington, Buffalo, Fergus Falls, Hennepin County, Hoffman, Ramsey County, Washington CountyIn a 2006 Stakeholder analysis and response project, RJR described these internal and industry-sponsored programs as mainly to develop test methods that define the photo, water and biological degradability of existing and new materials. RJRs final message to stakeholders was, “Our opinion is that the current state of the art in material technology has not produced a material that is commercially feasible. While some degradable materials have been identified, they are unsuitable because of poor taste, short shelf-life and physical instability during smoking, manufacturability and/or material variability. The company is continuing to look at all technological solutions to biodegradability” (emphasis added) [ 33]. E. Slaughter, R.M. Gersberg, K. Watanabe, et al.
