The Three Models<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Code Effort Pvt Ltd.’s mission to tackle cigarette waste involves three models that have proven effective in their efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n

(i) First of all, they give rag pickers job possibilities so that they can gather cigarette waste and promote a greener atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

(ii) They also provide specifically made value bins to tea and cigarette stores, which promotes ethical disposal and raises consumer awareness. <\/span><\/p>\n

(iii)\u00a0<\/a> Finally, the organisation actively collects cigarette butts by working with merchants in several states, thereby expanding its reach and influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of the initiative<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
