"Zero Cigarette Butt" Objective

A sustainable development initiative in a responsible company.

A real scourge for the environment, a cigarette and its butt contain nearly 30 toxic agents that are hardly biodegradable, if at all. An estimated 4.3 trillion cigarette butts are discarded worldwide each year, most of which end up on our streets and in the sewers.

As an establishment whose first priorities are the Health and Well-being of all, we are committed to promoting the Zero Cigarette Butt objective at the Domaine Thermal (car park, park, pathway...) and thus wish to raise awareness and develop the collection of cigarette butts, one of the conveyors of environmental and aesthetic pollution.

7
million

cigarettes are smoked per year in Luxembourg.

2/3
OF THE CIGARETTE BUTTS

end up in nature, on the pavement or in the sewers.

500
litres

of water are polluted by each cigarette butt.

It takes 15
Years

for a cigarette butt to degrade.

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?

The butts disposed of in the ashtrays provided are collected by shime.lu, a young Luxembourg start-up involved in sustainable development. They are treated effectively against toxic agents before they are recycled, particularly into urban furniture (ashtrays, benches, bins, etc.). This is a great way of recycling, and everyone can participate by acting responsibly - collecting the butts found on the ground and/or throwing them into one of the ashtrays provided at the entrances to the estate.


This diploma, titled "RECYCLING & ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT DIPLOMA 2024", is awarded to Mondorf Domaine Thermal. It states that 6.56 kg of cigarette butts were recycled, saving 0.07 MWh of energy, preserving 13,120 m³ of unpolluted water, and preventing 15.09 kg of CO₂ emissions.
