Cigarette butts recycling in Tunisia
Objectif thématique: B.4 Protection de l’environnement, adaptation au et atténuation du changement climatique
Priorité: Priorité B.4.2 Réduire la production de déchets municipaux, promouvoir le tri sélectif à la source et l’exploitation optimale, notamment de la composante organique
Brève description du projet : Each cigarette butt requires 15 years and 500 l of water to disappear, so we propose to collect them, separate their different components and recycle them separately in plastic granules and insulating material (from the filters), anti-corrosive liquid (from the chemicals fluids of the cigarette) and natural fertilizer (from leftover tobacco and ashes).
Objectifs principaux – problèmes à traiter: - Establishment of public ashtrays in the streets and close to workplaces. - Collection of cigarette butts in cafes and bars or in collaboration with public authorities. - Separation of cigarette filters, chemicals and ash. - Recycling of filters (cellulose acetate) in plastic granules and insulating material. - Recycling of chemical substances in anti-corrosive liquid for metals. - Transformation of ash and leftover tobacco into natural fertilizer.
Résultats attendus: - Reduce drastically cigarette waste in the streets and the public dumps (80 million cigarette butts are thrown per day in Tunisia). - Encourage people to collect cigarette butts. - Reuse recycled materials in sustainable construction. - Prevent toxic substances from entering waterways by recycling them - Involve public and local authorities in the process. - Create employment (at least 500 for the whole process).
Partenaires déjà impliqués: - Tunisian Municipalities (Menzah, Ariana, Grombalia) - National Agency for Environment Protection, Tunisia (ANPE)
Partenaires recherchés: - Environmental NGOs - National Environmental Protection Programs - Similar industries in other countries (Spain, France, Canada)
Budget total prévisionnel: 500.000 euros
