We all know about how dangerous cigarettes are for our body. But do you know that the filter part of the cigarette also causes a lot of damage to the environment. But a factory has found a new way to save the environment. Actually, a factory located in Delhi is making soft toys for the entertainment of children using cigarette butts. This is not only helping in reducing litter, but the environmental damage from these cigarette stubs will also be reduced.
In fact, there are many women on the outskirts of Delhi who make toys from cigarette stubs, which are used for children's entertainment. Actually, a cotton-like substance is used as a filter in cigarette stubs, which women take out and prepare soft toys for children and fill the stubs instead of stuffing in them.
Soft tops and pillows are also ready
The portion used for stuffing of soft top is collected in different parts of the city. After this, it is cleaned by following a process. Using this soft stuffing, pillows are also prepared for people's homes. The idea behind making toys and pillows is industrialist Naman Gupta.
Thousands of tons of garbage are recycled every year
In an interview to news agency Reuters, Naman Gupta has told that he started with 10 grams per day and now he recycles about thousand kilograms of buds. In such a situation, his business works to recycle millions of butts every year.
Compost is made from the paper on the butts
The soft top stuff is made with the help of the material coming out from inside the buds and compost is made from the paper coming out of it. The World Health Organization estimates that around 267 million people, which is about 30 percent of India's adult population, use tobacco. Read news from the tech and mobile world here.
