Reuse of cigarette buts for prefabricated materials for the construction of civil works

Abstract

The research focuses on assessing the feasibility of utilizing cigarette butts as a component in the production of various construction materials. A comprehensive analysis of the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting material was conducted, comparing them with the properties of conventional building materials. Additionally, the environmental impact of incorporating cigarette butts into the production processes was examined, and their economic viability will be evaluated. The aim is to contribute to the development of innovative solutions for managing cigarette butt waste and to promote a circular economy in the construction industry. It is anticipated hat this research will foster sustainable construction practices and reduce the environmental footprint in the construction sector.
