Abstract

The cigarette market, produces in the world, around 5.4 trillion units per year, Brazil is the largest Latin American market with its consumption corresponding to 42% of the total sold in Latin America. The country discards 25,415 tonnes of waste from the tobacco industry,with 16,222 tonnes of waste from packaging and 9,193 tonnes of waste from cigarette butts, per year. Even with these alarming numbers of production and disposal,cigarette waste is thrown indiscriminately everyday and everywhere. Given this, this study aimed to investigate possible forms of recycling through a systematic literature review. As a result, it has verified a wide range of studies with various applications of the buttocks, with special emphasis on products generated by sectors of laboratory chemistry such as adsorbents. They are also related studies that denote the possibility of benefiting from recycled filters in sectors that produce paper, fabrics, bricks, concrete and sound insulation. Finally, the need for harmony between society, the state and recycling companies was observed to enable their collection for future recycling processes.
