The Manifesto
4.5 trillion cigarette filters end up in the environment every year. Cellulose acetate — a plastic — that takes 14 years to decompose.
We don't call this recycling. Recycling implies returning to origin. We call it material reinterpretation — the filter stops being waste and becomes a design object. Every piece is physical evidence of the problem and its answer.
