An estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered globally each year, comprising 30-40% of all items collected in annual international coastal and urban clean-ups since the 1980s.*

In the United States alone, about 124 billion cigarette butts were littered in 2022. Cigarette filters contain cellulose acetate, a plastic that can take up to 10 years to decompose.**

Outdoor ashtrays from Justrite and Eagle are vital for enhancing safety, aesthetics, environmental responsibility, durability, and convenience in outdoor smoking areas.

Fire Safety

Outdoor ashtrays designed with self-extinguishing features limit oxygen, quickly extinguishing burning cigarette butts and significantly reducing the risk of fire hazards associated with improperly disposed cigarette waste.

Compliance and Regulations

Adhere to the laws and regulations governing workplace smoking areas, including those within manufacturing facilities.

Environmental Responsibility

These ashtrays help prevent littering and promote responsible smoking habits by providing designated receptacles for cigarette disposal. This is particularly important as many establishments aim to keep their properties clean and environmentally friendly. 

Employee Management

Outdoor ashtrays encourage smokers to use designated areas, protecting non-smokers and improving workplace efficiency by reducing unauthorized breaks.

Convenience

Some outdoor ashtrays feature compact designs that can be easily placed near seating areas. This makes it convenient for smokers to dispose of cigarette butts properly, helping to prevent litter.

Aesthetics and Durability

Maintain a clean and appealing front for your manufacturing site to welcome visitors and employees. Outdoor ashtrays should be durable enough to endure different weather conditions, minimizing the need for regular maintenance or repainting.
