Study finds recycled cigarette butts make steel stronger
« on: May 19, 2010, 07:28:23 AM »
Recycle cigarette butts? The estimated 4.5 trillion butts that are tossed each year into the environment can be recycled to make steel stronger, according to a new study.

Chinese researchers found that nine chemicals in cigarette butts, including nicotine, protect a type of steel from rusting under even harsh conditions. Their cigarette-derived cocktail reduced corrosion between 90% and 94%.
