What is the Butt Box and why it matters?
Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the UK.
They never biodegrade, instead, over years, they break apart into microplastics, harming wildlife and polluting where we live.
The best way to dispose of a cigarette butt is by putting it in a general waste bin, but we know there isn’t always one nearby. That’s where the Butt Box comes in. We’re giving out convenient smell-proof containers that make it easier for you to properly dispose of your cigarette butts.
