"SAVING THE WORLD, ONE BUTT AT A TIME."

An initiative by Enactus SRCC

PROJECT LEHER

LEHER AT A GLANCE

Project Leher, meaning a wave, is a revolution in the waste management sector to tackle the environment spillover of the world's most littered waste - cigarette butts. We aim to create a cigarette-free environment by collecting and processing cigarette butts, and making useful and innovative products out of them.

WHAT IS LEHER ?

HOW IT WORKS ?

Our solution to this pressing problem revolves around effectively and efficiently running 3 mechanisms-collection, processing, recyclying.

OUR SOLUTION

At Project Leher, we confront the issue of cigarette butt waste by reclaiming, detoxifying, and repurposing these butts for innovative, sustainable applications. Beyond pollution mitigation, our initiative emphasizes responsible waste management awareness. Through Project Leher, we seek to catalyze positive change, turning an environmental concern into an opportunity for lasting impact.

OUR TANGENTS

PAPER PACKAGING

We offer a unique and sustainable packaging solution that incorporates 30% recycled cigarette butt waste into paper pulp packaging material. The tensile strength of our paper packaging is 40% more than industry competitors, making it tear-proof and able to bear more weight.

We manufacture red and fly ash bricks from cigarette butt waste, targeting B2B sales to government and corporate clients. With a successful fly ash prototype ready and a red brick prototype on the way, we plan to collaborate with the government to build community toilets.
