Biodegradable beach ashtrays
Larnaca
In summer 2017, cone-shaped, biodegradable ashtrays were placed on ten of Larnaca’s most popular beaches as an alternative to disposing of cigarette butts in the sand. Steel bins were placed alongside them, with full instructions on how to use them.
At the end of the season, the collected cigarette butts were counted – a total of 84,300 cigarette butts, weighing 42.15 kg in total, had been disposed of in the specially provided bins during the summer.
