Researchers from the Building Engineering Laboratory (LabIC.UGR) are collaborating with the University of Bologna (Italy) on the design and evaluation of the resistance of asphalt made from pellets of this waste, in a project co-funded by the Chinese government. Since the advent of filter cigarettes, cigarette butts have become a predominant form of waste, with projections indicating that around 9 trillion will be generated worldwide in 2025.

A research group from the ‘Camino de Purchil’ Centre of the Andalusian Institute of Agricultural, Fisheries, Agrifood and Organic Production Research and Training (IFAPA) in Granada, the ‘Hinojosa del Duque’ IFAPA Centre in Córdoba, and the University of Granada have studied the effect of tree shelters on the regeneration of open oak woodlands (known in Spain as dehesas). The results of the study reveal that the survival rate of the trees is increased by both the direct seeding of acorns and the planting of nursery-grown seedlings.
