A New Jersey-­‐based recycling firm is putting Canadian butts to work as it looks to turn discarded cigarette waste into industrial use pallets. TerraCycle, a firm that reuses and reprocesses hard-to-recycle waste, has launched its Cigarette Waste Brigade program, which diverts cigarette butts—along  with plastic and foil cigarette packaging—from landfills and uses them to make pallets for industrial shipping. “I’m personally very excited about cigarette butts because it’s a landmark waste stream,” said TerraCycle founder Tom Szaky. “It’s a massive litter issue.”
