Le projet en détails

NB : cette fiche est intégralement remplie par les personnes proposant l’innovation.

Quel est le problème résolu ?

More than 6,000,000,000,000 cigarettes are smoked every year in the world, part of these cigarettes is dispersed in the environment, part disposed of according to conventional methods, with the spread of pollutants, such as nicotine, or CO2.

Comment est-il résolu ?

Turning cigarette butts into bio-carbon, a material useful for different purposes, as an agricultural soil conditioner, pigment or as a support for technical materials such as catalysts and electrodes.

Qui sont les clients potentiels ?

Virtuous companies can join the collection of cigarette butts and have a return of image, against an expense for collection and disposal. Bio-carbon produced can be sold for specific uses, such as the production of paint or activated carbon

En quoi cette solution est-elle différente ?

The project proposes on the one hand the enhancement of the collection of cigarette butts through awareness campaigns and involvement of companies, on the other hand it gives value to a waste by converting it into something useful to the market (which is normally produced with raw materials and not with waste).
