Green Cigarette Filter Sprouts Flowers

By Naresh Kumar on May 28, 2010

Greenbutts are biodegradable cigarette filters that sprout into grass shoots or flowers when placed under a thin layer of soil. The filter, which doesn’t contain any chemicals or additives, is made with an all-natural hemp and organic cotton blend that can be combined with a variety of seeds. It will also degrade faster than current cellulose acetate filters which take years to biodegrade.

The company behind it, greenbutts LLC, has filed a patent for the concept.
