    This document proposes a solution to recycle cigarette butts by collecting them from vendors and processing them into cellulose acetate. The key points are: 1) Cigarette butts contain plastic that is not biodegradable and harmful to the environment. The proposal is to collect butts from vendors and pay them Rs. 250 per kilogram. 2) The collected butts would be processed into cellulose acetate which can be used to make air purifiers, clothes, blankets, and other materials. 3) An estimated 400kg of butts could be collected in 15 days, producing 80kg of cellulose acetate and a profit of Rs. 40,000 after accounting for materials, processing,

    The Problem which is addressed
    A cigarette butt is made of cellulose acetate, a plastic filter that
    is not biodegradable and can be around harming the
    environment for years once discarded.  

    Estimates suggest that 0.85 billion kilos of toxic cigarette waste


    is generated each year; with high environmental, economic, and
    health costs.
    Solution being offered
    • We will provide the cigarette vendors with
    cigarette waste collection bin and we will
    purchase the cigarette butts from them at
    the rate of Rs 250 per kilo.

    • Awareness Campaign

    • Online Marketing
    Revenue Model
    •Price of Cellulose Acetate- 1500/Kg

    •Estimated collection of Cigarette Butt in 15 days- 400 Kg

    •Production of Cellulose Acetate- 80 Kg

    •Estimated Revenue= 1,20000

    •Salary of Collection staff- 3000 (salary) * 10 ( no of employees) = 30000

    •Cost of raw material and processing- (200*200) + 10000= 50000

    •Estimated 15 days profit- 40000


    • Cellulose Acetate, the recycled polymer from
    cigarette butts has many potential
    applications due to its high filtering
    properties and resistance to heat. We will be

    Opportunity
    conducting research on its potential use in
    manufacturing air-purification systems,
    applicable for kitchen chimneys, and will be

    Evaluation able to come up with newer and more useful


    by-products in the years to come.

    And Future • Research has found that soaking cigarette


    butts in water will create a rust proof solution

    Plans for steel. Cigarette butts can be recycled into


    insulation to warm homes. Cigarette butts
    can also be turned into a fabric that can be
    made into blankets.

    • Demand and Supply Evaluation.


    • Air purifiers- As per a report, India has a Air Purifier

    Opportunity market of 49 million dollars and is growing at a CAGR


    of 28%.

    Evaluation • Clothes which use polymers

    And Future • Blankets manufacturing

    • Frame material for eye glasses


    Plans • Playing Cards
    Competitors

    Some of the major players operating in


    India air purifier market are Eureka
    Forbes Ltd., Philips India Ltd.,
    Honeywell International Pvt Ltd., Kent
    RO Systems Ltd., Blueair India Pvt. Ltd., We will have the trust of the customers
    Panasonic India Pvt. Ltd., and will employ six sigma strategies.
    Crusaders Technologies India Pvt. Ltd.,
    Sharp Business Systems (India) Private
    Limited, Daikin Air Conditioning India
