FilterSafe™ Collection Systems

A Smarter Way to Eliminate Cigarette Litter at Source

FilterSafe™ is an intelligent, modular cigarette waste containment system designed to eliminate litter in high-traffic environments by placing disposal exactly where behaviour occurs.

Unlike traditional bins, FilterSafe™ works at the point of use—capturing cigarette waste immediately, reducing environmental impact, and improving the cleanliness of shared spaces.

Engineered for sports venues, hospitality environments, and public spaces, the system combines practical design, environmental responsibility, and commercial opportunity.


The Problem We Solve

Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter globally.

Across venues:

    • They accumulate rapidly in high-use areas
    • Contain microplastics and toxic chemicals
    • Increase cleaning costs and maintenance demands
    • Negatively impact the perception of facilities

Traditional disposal methods fail because they are not positioned where behaviour happens.

Designed for Real-World Environments

FilterSafe™ is built to integrate seamlessly into different environments through adaptable configurations:

Golf Courses

    • Cart-mounted units
    • Distributed disposal across fairways

Padel & Tennis Facilities

    • Fence-mounted systems
    • Positioned at entry and social zones

Sports Venues

    • Smoking zones and concourse areas

Hospitality & Events

    • Outdoor seating and gathering areas



Scalable by Design

The system is designed for:

    • Single venue deployment
    • Multi-site rollouts
    • National environmental programmes


One system. Multiple environments. Measurable impact.

The FilterSafe™ Solution

FilterSafe™ redefines waste collection by delivering a targeted, behaviour-driven solution.


Key Principles:

    • Point-of-use placement
    • Contained, hygienic disposal
    • Minimal operational effort
    • Immediate visual impact


Each unit captures cigarette waste efficiently using a sealed containment system, preventing toxins from entering the environment.


How It Works

    • Insert – A disposable cup with containment medium is placed inside the unit
    • Secure – The top shell locks into position
    • Dispose – Cigarettes are dropped into a funnel that safely contains waste
    • Replace – Units are serviced quickly with a simple cup swap


The system is designed for speed, hygiene, and reliability.

    • Weather-resistant construction


Every detail is engineered for durability, usability, and visual integration.

The NoButt™ Initiative

FilterSafe™ forms part of the broader NoButt™ Environmental Initiative—a scalable programme focused on reducing cigarette litter across recreational and public environments.

This initiative combines:

    • Infrastructure (FilterSafe™ systems)
    • Behaviour change
    • Environmental awareness

Delivering measurable impact at scale.

Commercial & Sponsorship Opportunity

FilterSafe™ is more than a solution—it is a platform for brand visibility.

Sponsors benefit from:

    • High-frequency exposure at point-of-use
    • Placement in premium environments
    • Alignment with ESG and sustainability goals
    • Custom branded units across venues

This transforms environmental infrastructure into measurable marketing value.

FilterSafe™ is not an awareness campaign.


It is a working solution that:

    • Changes behaviour
    • Reduces waste
    • Improves environments
    • Creates commercial value
