What is a Greenbutt?

Greenbutts are patented filters are made of all natural, food grade fibers. We’ve spent almost a decade designing and developing these filters to provide the same taste and filtration properties as current acetate filters. Our goal is to facilitate a seamless transition for the cigarette industry to switch from acetate ( plastic ) filters to our biodegradable alternative.

How long does it take for your filters to degrade?

The speed of degradation depends on environmental factors ( moisture, bacteria and sunlight ). Through testing we have designed Greenbutts filters will disperse in water within a few minutes with agitation. The filter substrate will begin to degrade in compost within 7 days as opposed to 10-15 years as is the case with cellulose acetate.
