This is a free scheme that has been offered to both groups and workplaces, as well as individuals over the age 18. Anyone who wants to participate in the recycling program simply needs to collect their cigarette or cigar butts and send it to TerraCycle. TerraCycle will accept anything from ash, used and unused cigarette filters, tolling paper, inner foil packaging and outer plastic packaging.
Much of the cigarette waste will be recycled into a range of plastic products, such as delivery pallets while and remaining tobacco or paper will be composted.
It will be interesting to see whether or not places such as pubs, restaurants, shopping centres, trains stations, airports, and individuals will actually participate in this scheme.
In my opinion this sounds like a good initiative, however how will the logistics of this scheme work, who will be collecting this waste or is it the responsibilities of the the groups, workplaces or individuals to drop off the waste at TerraCycles facilities?
