Trash To Treasure | Introducing Code Effort, the pioneers of cigarette waste recycling in the country. The genius folks at this organisation have cracked the code of curbing the littering of cigarette butts by recycling them into useful products. The paper part of the cigarette is turned into plantable paper bags, envelopes and burnable mosquito repellent that is sold under the name NMosq. That’s not all! The fibre from the cigarette filters is also treated and recycled into a variety of kid-safe products like toys, cushions and more!

Not only have they recycled 1.2 billion cigarette butts to date, but they have also provided employment opportunities to many local women through this initiative and offered help to those trying to quit smoking! Go through their socials below to keep up with their magic!
