In India, a factory for processing cigarette butts into soft toys has opened.

Cigarette filters are used to make stuffing for products. Every year, employees process millions of cigarette butts into tons of fiber. First, workers separate the filter from the shell and tobacco residues - they are used to make recycled paper and compost powder. The filter is then separated into fibers. They are bleached and cleaned in a cotton gin. Women stuff toys and pillows with the resulting material. According to the World Health Organization, almost 30% of Indian adults smoke - that's 267 million people. On the city streets, they leave tons of cigarette butts behind.
