Re-Cig is an innovative company that recovers and recycles cigarette butts, transforming them into useful resources through a sustainable industrial process. We offer a comprehensive service that includes the supply of Smoker Point ashtrays, secure storage containers, and quarterly collection of cigarette butts for recycling.
Smoker Point ashtrays are specifically designed for recycling cigarette butts. Each ashtray holds 1.500 butts and features a secure locking system with a key-operated grille. This design prevents other waste from entering and streamlines the collection process.
The Re-Cig service is free for the initial supply of Smoker Points. There are no upfront costs, but a fixed fee is applied to cover all phases of the service, from collection to recycling of cigarette butts. The cost depends on the quantity and frequency of the service requested.
The service includes quarterly collection of cigarette butts. However, you can customize the collection frequency based on the needs of your company or administration.
After collection, the cigarette butts are transported to our recycling plant, where they are processed to extract cellulose acetate, the plastic material found in the filters, which is then recycled. Our innovative process transforms waste into a resource, reducing environmental impact.
We offer regular reports that allow you to monitor the quantity of cigarette butts collected and recycled. Additionally, businesses and public administrations can receive detailed information on the service's progress and environmental impact.
