As part of the evaluation of Directive (EU) 2019/904 on single-use plastics, Health Funds for a Smokefree Netherlands wishes to underline that waste arising from tobacco products, and cigarette filters in particular, represents one of the most prevalent, persistent and toxic forms of litter in the European Union. Cigarette butts are consistently among the most collected items in coastal and urban clean-ups.
