Greenbutts™ are patented filters for tobacco or cannabis cigarettes that are made of all-natural, food-grade fibers. We’ve spent almost a decade designing and developing these filters to provide the same taste and filtration properties as current acetate filters. Our goal is to facilitate a seamless transition for the cigarette industry to switch from acetate ( plastic ) filters to our biodegradable alternative.

The speed of degradation depends on environmental factors ( moisture, bacteria and sunlight ). Through various tests we have found that Greenbutts™ filters will disperse in water within a few minutes and degrade in compost within 7 days as opposed to 10-15 years as is the case with cellulose acetate.

Greenbutts™ is first and foremost a research and development company. We work with our clients by providing patented technology and know-how to produce these filters in their own facilities. We also have the ability through our manufacturing contractors to produce filters to customer specifications. Please click on the contact us page to request more information.
