A small butt, a big problem
Take the You(r)Sea quiz to understand the impact of cigarette butts and help us find collective solutions for a cleaner ocean.
At TrashTrek App, we believe that understanding the problem is the first step to solving it. While a single filter on the sidewalk seems insignificant, cigarette butts are the most common form of pollution in our oceans. Most are made of plastic that fragments into microplastics, harming our delicate coastal ecosystems.

Environmental Impact
Discarded butts release nicotine, lead, and arsenic into nature. These substances quickly contaminate water; a single cigarette butt can affect the quality of up to 1,000 liters of water, harming marine habitats across the globe.Together for a Clean CoastOur goal is the protection of our seas. The solution is simple: cigarette butts belong in bins or pocket ashtrays, not in drains or sand. By doing this, we prevent toxins from reaching the oceans. Every effort counts.
