Eco Factor: Patent-pending technology to turn cigarette butts into tiny flower pots.

Greenbutts has developed a new technology to create cigarette filters that once discarded grows flowers and serves as a tiny flower pot. The patent-pending technology features cigarette butts made using organic cotton and natural de-gummed hemp. Wheat flour and water are used to bind the filter elements together.

Cigarette butts are small but the overall waste they account for is surprisingly massive. Research points out that smoking-related materials represented more than 30 percent of what was collected and disposed by teams worldwide in 2008. While we do encourage our readers to quit smoking, the alternative approach to reduce toxic trash by Greenbutts is also commendable.
