Greenbutts are all-natural, 100% biodegradable cigarette filters with a unique feature. When placed under a thin layer of soil, they sprout into green grass shoots or even blooming flowers.
Our mission is to curb the blight of pollution caused by discarded cigarette butts into the environment while providing a high quality smoking experience.

Throw it and grow it
Introducing the true all-natural cigarette. With additive and chemical-free tobacco and our natural biodegradable filters, smokers are now able to responsibly discard their spent cigarette filters or use them to grow an assortment of plants. Simply collect your greenbutts in a planter instead of an ashtray and watch them grow. Our filters are made with an all-natural hemp and cotton blend that can be combined with a variety of seeds including grass, flower, fruit, herb, or even trees.
Please note that greenbutts does not condone littering. Make sure your greenbutts go where they are wanted, like your garden or compost bin. If you decide to throw your greenbutt in the trash, at least you can feel good knowing it will degrade cleaner and faster than typical filters.
Old technology
Currently, most cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate. Although technically biodegradable, these traditional filters can be resistant to degradation depending upon environmental conditions. The duration of the degradation process is cited as taking as long as 10–15 years. It is estimated that 4.5 trillion cigarette butts become litter every year. In the 2006 International Coastal Cleanup, cigarettes and cigarette butts constituted 24.7% of the total collected pieces of garbage, over twice as many as any other category. As the filters slowly degrade, the cellulose acetate and other chemical particles, suspected of causing harm in humans, can leach into the ground and water supplies.

Clean and simple
Greenbutts are manufactured from 100% all-natural and compostable materials. Organic cotton and natural de-gummed hemp form the filter body. Wheat flour and pure water bind the filter elements as they are spun together. No chemicals or hidden additives. Simple is better.
Taste tobacco, not filter
The taste is the best part. None of that cigarette filter after-taste. Just pure, unfettered tobacco flavor. Rediscover the essence of smoking.
