Because the existence of life is based on the environment, the protection of the environment is an important priority for humans today. In this sequence, the business of making useful items from waste recycling is growing very fast nowadays. 

With the right thinking and strategy, we can turn waste into gold by using it properly. Nowadays, many small and large stores sell V-bins, i.e. The value bin is becoming increasingly popular. These shopkeepers collect Cigarette waste in these bins. 

Many of you smoke cigarettes, and those who don't do so as well. You might be surprised to learn this! Actually, Cigarette Butts can be used for a sleeping pillow, mattress, cushion, teddy, toys, plastic chair, and so on.

Do you know that all of these products are made from recycled cigarette waste?  A small cigarette butts takes ten years to decompose. The top of butts is made of paper, but the filter is made of cellulose acetate. Simply put, it is made of polymer or fiber material. 

This component takes ten years to decompose. 1 kg of cigarette waste contains 3000 cigarette butts. In India, approximately 30 million tonnes of cigarette waste are generated each year. Consider how long it will take for so many cigarette butts to decompose.

These cigarette butts had become a problem But Mr. Naman, a young man from Delhi, has found a way to recycle the cigarette waste What is this cigarette butt? 

Those who smoke and then throw away the filter (cigarette butts) throw it mindlessly on the road or on the ground, so our company provides an end-to-end solution in which we collect those cigarette butts and treat them 100% in our factory in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.  

After that, in today's date, we made about 300-400 very beautiful looking designs of various categories. In fact, Mr. Naman, during his student days, used to get sad when he saw his friends smoking cigarettes in the hostel and throwing cigarette wastes everywhere, because he saw how much damage these people are causing to themselves and the environment!

Mr. Naman Gupta has developed an intriguing business model based on cigarette butts. After about 4 months of research, he discovered how it can be recycled to produce a byproduct. In 2018, he established Code Effort Private Limited. After establishing the company to collect cigarette waste, he began encouraging people in many Delhi/NCR shops to keep V-bins, i.e.

Organic compost is made from the tobacco and paper present in it by recycling these cigarette waste. Mosquito repellents are made from paper, and pillows, cushions, teddies, and key chains will be made on a large scale in the future from polymers found in cigarette butts.

The paper covering from the cigarette butts is removed during the waste processing process, and the pulp is made with organic binder. This is used to make mosquito repellent cards because it does not attract mosquitoes when burned. This material is chemically treated for 24 to 36 hours before being removed and washed with water before being dried.

Mr. Naman has created three cigarette waste collection models. As a result, he receives 2500 kg of cigarette waste per month from 12 states. Rag pickers and unemployed volunteers are used in the first model to collect cigarette butts. In exchange, they receive basic incentives. 

The company has set up smoking rooms in large corporate offices in Noida, Delhi, and Gurgaon under the second model. And in these cities, T-shops and Cigarette shops have Value Bins (V-Bin).

Every 15 days, team members collect cigarette butts by emptying these bins. Cigarette butts are collected through vendors in various states of the country under the third waste collection model. Every month, approximately 2500 kg of cigarette waste is generated by these three models. 

Cigarette butt recycling programs are rapidly expanding in Canada, the United States, Spain, and Europe. In addition The remaining butts of cigarettes are used to make plastic items in this location. The portion of the butts containing the filter has melted. 

This portion of the filter is constructed of cellulose acetate. This molten part is used to make plastic. An ashtray requires 100 to 200 butts. A chair is made up of approximately 2 lakh butts. The cigarette butts business model is becoming increasingly popular. 

This is incredible! Sometimes small ideas grow into big ones. Even with waste, your skills can do wonders and save your country's environment from destruction. The courageous struggle for a noble cause should be considered success in and of itself.
