Butts are not bio-degradable

Up to 4.5 trillion butts are littered globally each year.

Research shows it can take up to 15 years for cigarette butts to break down in sea water.

Cigarette butt filters contain cellulose acetate, a fibrous plastic.

There's No More Butts, something must be done.

Butts pollute our environment

Cigarette filters provide no health benefit

In addition to causing hundreds of fires each year, up to 7,000 chemicals and various heavy metals leach from butts into the environment.

This can harm marine species and damage soil quality.

Cigarette filters provide no health benefit

Cigarette filters (butts) are a single-use plastic. They are both problematic, unnecessary and avoidable.

As a charity, No More Butts advocates for a filter ban, as they provide no benefit to human health.

We acknowledge that our work takes place on the traditional lands of Indigenous Peoples around the world. We honour them as the original and continuing stewards who have cared for these beautiful lands and waters since time immemorial, and we recognise their profound and enduring connection to culture and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and to all Indigenous Peoples. As an organisation, we are committed to learning from and supporting Indigenous communities in our work.
