In an effort to drive down the production cost of biodiesel, researchers have developed an eco-friendly way of extracting triacetin, a combustion-enhancing additive, from an abundant waste source: cigarette butts. Recycling cigarette butts in this way would not only dispose of waste but put it to sustainable use.Made from biological sources like edible and non-edible oils, animal fats and waste restaurant grease, biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel, an alternative to conventional ‘fossil’ diesel with low harmful…
