About Us
No BuTTs is based in Melbourne, Australia with offices in New Zealand. We are industry leaders on the issue of cigarette butt litter reduction, and in 2010 will be opening offices in USA, Canada, Switzerland, Israel, Brazil, The Netherlands and Dubai.
No BuTTs was created to address the increasingly serious environmental problem of cigarette butt litter. We are committed to a butt free Australia - and a butt free planet. No BuTTs provides solutions to cigarette butt litter in smoking areas - and anywhere else a smoker lights up.
As our society has become more waste and energy conscious, Businesses, Government, Organisations and Individuals have made significant improvements in recycling pratices, waste reduction and energy efficiency to minimize their impact on the environment. Littered cigarette butts also create the risk of fires. Every year people are injured or killed, property is damaged, and wildlife & stock are decimated by fires directly caused by discarded cigarrete butts.
However until recently, cigarette butt litter - the world’s largest environmental litter problem, has not received the same degree of attention. Cigarette butt litter outside buildings, and scattered by the billions across our cities and countryside has increased considerably since the introduction of indoor & vehicular smoking bans, and this litter rapidly enters our storm-water and aquatic systems - poisoning our environment, degrading its beauty and taking years to break down.
No BuTTs mission is to provide education, and intelligent, economical, effective and sustainable products to reduce - and in many cases virtually eliminate the problem of Affiliated Cigarette Butt Litter. That's the cigarette butt litter caused by an organisation's employees, customers, passengers, patrons, guests, contractors, visitors, members, etc.
No BuTTs is dedicated to protecting the environment - and corporate profiles - from the insidious problem of cigarette butt litter.
From a corporate image position, it doesn’t get much worse than an organisation's smokers littering their cigarette butts.
What an organisation's smokers do does have an impact on their public profile. Smokers are the only ones who can actually reduce the problem of butt litter, but they can use a little help to do it. Appropriate butt disposal is even more crucial when staff are on-site, commuting, or out and about on business representing their organisation.
That's why 1,000s of companies, organisations and government departments around the planet are now using No BuTTs Personalised/Personalized Ashtrays to virtually eliminate their affiliated cigarette butt litter. A Personal Ashtray eliminates cigarette butt litter. It's as simple as that.
Butt Litter Responsibility provides the means for responsible business owners and Management to assess their efforts to provide adequate education and disposal infrastructure in order to reduce the cigarette butt litter emanating from their business activities, whilst simultaneously promoting the highest standards of environmentally responsible trading.
It's for these reasons that Eco-Pole Wall & Post-mounted Ashtrays are now the best selling Stainless Steel Ashtrays in the world, and our award winning Mini-Butts logo printed Personalised Ashtrays are permanently changing the littering habits of 1,000s of smokers every day. A Personal Ashtray can eliminate butt litter.
Cigarette butt litter is now such a serious problem that recently, the Victorian Government held a Cigarette Butt Litter Summit in Melbourne specifically to address this issue. No BuTTs was an integral participant in this summit, and it is expected that further summits will be held on a regular basis, across Australia.
The problem may be prolific, but the solution is simple.
No BuTTs. ...Because the world is not an Ashtray.
