Recycled butts put to use as collection program expands

TerraCycle Include USA Cigarette Recycling Program
Proulx called the program a win-win because TerraCycle — the same company that accepts for free those hard-to-recycle baby food pouches — pays to ship the butts to its facility in eastern Canada, where it grinds down the butts before the plastic is sold to manufacturers to build palettes, plastic lumber and other low-grade industrial products.
