Current plastic filters can take up to 15 years to decompose.
About Bio Fil, Inc.
Seeing the need for a biodegradable cigarette filter–one that can break down significantly faster than the current filter used in the market–Bio Fil Inc. has come up with a new filter to replace the current one. Our cigarette filters are made of completely organic materials; they break down much more quickly than conventional filters–and will thereby have a notably positive impact on the environment compared to conventional cigarette filters. Since Bio Fil filters are made of organic materials free from harmful chemicals and plastics–and break down quickly–particularly in the presence of moisture–they will not harm the environment and will not poison the wildlife that ingest them.
BioFil filters work like traditional filters to trap tar and other chemicals produced by burning tobacco, so there are no particular health differences than the current filter used now. They are also as inexpensive to manufacture and produce as traditional cigarette filters–so they will not have a significant affect on the bottom line of companies using BioFilter filters to replace the current filter. But, because BioFilter cigarette filters breaks down so much faster than the current filter, using BioFil filters will also have a positive impact economically on businesses, cities, parks and open-space areas–by causing less trash build-up and litter in both urban and rural areas.
Our company can provide a biodegradable cigarette filter to replace the one currently used. The Company is not involved in cigarette manufacturing. The Company will only produce cigarette filters and filter tubes to provide to cigarette manufacturing companies, cigarette filter companies, and, perhaps to cigarette stores for the use of personal tobacco products–nationwide and internationally.
