It is estimated that 22% of the South African population
smoke 60 million cigarettes a day.
We believe that a great
portion of these 60 million cigarettes are disposed of properly, however millions
of butts are ending up in the South African environment as litter, causing
major problems.
While a certain percentage of smokers will throw butts anywhere, most smokers
will use ashtrays where available. The more convenient and quickly accessible
the ashtray is the more waste the ashtray captures.
The Ash n Ad ashtray was developed to increase the convenience for
cigarette butt disposal for smokers. As the ashtrays are free*, property owners
and managers can install more ashtrays, which decreases the occurrence of butt
litter. With the banning of smoking indoors, smokers are typically asked to
smoke in designated areas outside buildings and this results in unfortunately
smoking right outside entrances. The unattractive messy sight of used cigarette
butts is easily preventable with a few wall-mounted ashtrays, each holding up to 300 butts.
The ashtray is
constructed from tough, weather resistant, rust proof & powder coated
steel. This allows smokers to dispose of cigarette butts easily and
hygienically while improving the state of the environment around a smoking
area.
The ashtray is
designed to be easily installed and made to last many years. This makes them a
cost effective and ideal solution
for property owners seeking to instate demarcated outdoor smoking areas while
at the same time providing patrons and public a clean and hassle free
environment to smoke.
Ash n Ad is the exclusive ashtray service
provider for South Africa.
