Transforming industries with circular celullose acetate

About Celion®

Celion® is the first circular acetate born from discarded cigarette filters; transformed into a pure, bio-formulated, high-performace material that inspires durable products and lasting positive change.

100% made from cigarette waste

High purity and qualiy

Scientifically developed

+1.2 million tons

Cellulose acetate

Each year, more than 1,200,000 tons of cellulose acetate from cigarette filters are discarded into the environment. We recover this valuable material and transform it into Celion®

Toxic compound

The filter of cigarette butts is made of cellulose acetate, a non-biodegradable plastic that traps over 7,000 toxic compounds, causing direct harm to the environment.

What if we could turn this waste into resources through a circular economy?

Technological innovation

We execute the process with precision, creating a high-quality, versatile material made from recycled waste.

Through an innovative, one of a kind process – unique worldwide – we are, for the first time in history, able to recover pure and whole cellulose acetate from cigarette butts.

Collaborations

Transforming contaminating waste into products that tell an incredible story.
