I appreciate all this feedback. I been working in this project for the last 2 years and we have learn a lot. For example, one of the main reason why people throw the cigarette butt in the floor or not even care about polution, it's because they believe cigarette butts are made of cotton, which is not, because it's plastic. And in the other hand, because most countries in the world consider this "garbage" seems like lost wor. But we want to prove is not! That can change that. First step is awareness, then colecting system and finally recycling in high end products such us paint. Our services provide OEM ashtray rental, monthly colecting and recycling, and a social program with schools.

  I thank you for the question, as it is very important. We have created a social responsibility program that includes several packages depending on the need or interest of each company. The first is to solve the collection of cigarette butts, for which we offer the manufacture and rental of ashtrays personalized with your logo. Then: 1. We created the "ONE Campaign" which consists of recycling one million cigarette butts into paint. 2. This campaign will have its own web page, and all the companies that contract our service will appear in a prominent section of the site. 3. This paint can be used to paint facilities in your company or donate and refurbish a square in your neighborhood. 4. This goal of one million is a commitment with the neighbors of each locality. In this sense, we will organize collection days and your company's logo may appear on the volunteers' vests. 5. We offer awareness talks in schools and your company's logo can be on the Rollup or informative materials as a sponsor. 6. Every 6 months you will receive a traceability report of the waste collected and the positive social and environmental impact generated. If you are interested, I invite you to visit our website -in spanish-: www.nmc.uy (community), www.teko.uy (recycling) and www.one.org.uy (campaign). I appriciate your feedback!
