Greenbutts: A Biodegradable Alternative to Cigarette Filters
Greenbutts gains Hohenstein quality label with biodegradable filter technology to replace disposable plastic cigarette filters.

Greenbutts has been awarded the Heinstein quality label for its innovative biodegradable filtration technology aimed at replacing the commonly littered single-use plastic cigarette filters.


In a statement, Tadas Lisauskas, CEO of Greenbutts, said, "Obtaining Hohenstein's biodegradability certification is a recognition of all the hard work we have put in over the past decade to develop and optimize our Greenbutts filtering technology as a truly environmentally friendly alternative to acetate cellulose.


We are pleased to announce that in the near future, we will provide this certified material for various filtering media products to help eliminate the use of disposable synthetic materials in the filtering industry.


Luis Sanches, Chief Strategy Officer of Greenbutts, said, "We have made every effort to provide revolutionary solutions for the global tobacco industry." "Our world needs a high sense of corporate responsibility and measurable impact, and we aim to do our part for our clients, no matter where they are located.


The Greenbutts filter uses patented materials that are biodegradable, plastic-free, and water-soluble. According to the company, the Greenbutts filter will disperse in water within minutes and degrade in compost within a few days, whereas traditional cellulose acetate filters can take 10-15 years to degrade.
