IMEKO is a brand that specializes in recycling cigarette butts and transforming them into new raw materials. They are the only brand in the world capable of recovering and repurposing the plastic filters found in cigarette butts. With a focus on circular economy and innovation, IMEKO combines science and technology to create sustainable materials from cigarette waste.

Did you know that enough cigarette butts are discarded globally each year to fill 80 Olympic-sized swimming pools per second? These butts contain a plastic material called cellulose acetate, which retains over 7,000 toxic compounds. IMEKO's team of passionate chemists work diligently to convert this environmental problem into an innovative and sustainable solution. A staggering percentage of cigarettes consumed worldwide end up as environmental waste, with cigarette filters being predominantly non-biodegradable plastic.

IMEKO aims to change this by transforming the discarded butts into a new and valuable resource. By recycling with IMEKO, you can contribute to cleaning up our planet and reducing the negative impact of cigarette waste. Join IMEKO's network of partners to help eliminate cigarette butts from the environment.
