1000 Greengo Biodegradable Organic ECO Unbleached Slim 6mm Filter Tips

Product Information

Plastic cellulose acetate filter was a marketing ploy, designed in the hope of making the American population believe it made a “healthier experience.” This Supply Agreement will provide the Company with access to 100% biodegradable filters for use in our Beyond Burn™ Poda Pods. The inclusion of Greenbutts' biodegradable filters into our already biodegradable and compostable Poda Pods allows Poda the ability to offer a completely biodegradable and truly compostable heat-not-burn product, something that has never been done in the heat-not-burn tobacco market. This is an important aspect of our ongoing ESG commitment and will provide the Company with several potential competitive advantages over IQOS and other heat-not-burn products which use non-biodegradable cellulose acetate filters. Beyond Burn™ Poda Pods with Greenbutts filters deliver an exceptional user experience and further strengthen the Company's commitment to our ESG principles. We are thrilled to have secured this Supply Agreement." So with that point of view put aside for now, wouldn’t it be better all-round if cigarette filters were made of something more environmentally-friendly?

This group of third year microbiology students from Stellenbosch University not only published their first peer-reviewed paper, they also established that even biodegradable cigarette stubbs have a negative impact on the environment.

It produces artificially lowered levels of TNCOs, and doesn’t account for smokers’ compensatory behaviours. 35 The bags that contain the products are handwoven by a community of local weavers, using organic cotton and locally grown raw material.Even the ink we use for printing is food-grade, non-toxic, and made locally.These small initiatives go a long way in involving local and rural communities in the business, thereby helping them prosper,” Ved told Your Story.“After all, any business that makes only money, we believe, is a bad business.”

In 2018, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) conducted a study on one hundred cigarettes for sale in the Netherlands using the WHO Intense method. The study found TNCO emissions between 2 and 3 times higher than the legally permitted maximum during real-life consumption, whereas the emissions of all cigarettes remained under the legal thresholds when measured with the ISO method. 35 40 41 An RIVM study recommended that a different, independent measurement method be used instead of the ISO method, rather than one “largely influenced by the tobacco industry”. 35 The WHO also recommends the extension of tobacco product sale regulation and tax policy to include single-use cigarette filters. 4 M.A. Wakefield, K.
