About No More Butts

No More Butts is taking action on the single biggest contributor to litter in Australia and around the world - cigarette butts. Made from cellulose acetate, cigarette butts are not biodegradable and leach harsh chemicals into the natural environment. It has been reported to take 15 years for a cigarette butt to break down in seawater, causing damage to marine life and has the ability to enter the food chain as a microplastic. Cigarettes are also considered to be a major contributor towards fires.

Based in Queensland, Australia, No More Butts is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for Profits Commission. It holds a Deductible Gift Recipient status, having been entered onto the Register of Environmental Organisations in 2020.

Our vision is a Butt Free Environment. We have a serious cause, BUTT, we do like to be a bit cheeky.

Our Values

• Respect: We respect the natural environment and we respect the diverse backgrounds and opinions of those involved in our charitable purpose.
• Preserve: We preserve the natural environment by supporting activities related to sustainable litter and waste management along with clean up events.
• Question: We question and challenge how things have been done and how innovation can lead towards the best outcomes for the environment and our charity.
• Grow: We seek opportunities to support the personal and professional growth of our team. We identify opportunities for funding to help our charity grow.
