00:00And we have just started We found that there is no specific guidelines
00:20or a specific system to recycle the cigarette butts.
00:48It is
01:06separated manually using thread cutters or scissors.
01:09After separation of these three parts, the paper, polymer and the tobacco, paper that
01:16is received by us is first converted into a pulp form and after creating pulp, we add
01:23an organic binder to it.
01:33Polymer that we receive is first shredded by a shredding machine.
01:37After shredding, it goes through a 24-hour biodegradable chemical recycling process.
01:53The leftover tobacco that we receive is used in making organic compost which is fit to
01:59use in nurseries.
02:26From the beginning until date, we have been facing a lot of setbacks and criticism but
02:32because we dared to provide an end-to-end solution to the problem of cigarette butts.
02:42If you have the determination to provide something to the society, then the people who watch
02:49you or the people who like your idea will definitely support you.
