Cigarette manufacturers will also have to educate smokers not to throw away butts in public.
A study suggests cleaning cigarette butts off roads costs Catalan municipalities €18-21 per inhabitant yearlyTobacco companies will now be charged to clean up cigarette butts off the streets and beaches of Spain, according to new environmental regulations.
A report by the Catalan Rezero Foundation estimated that local authorities in Catalonia were paying between €12-21 per inhabitant per year on road cleaning of cigarettes - with higher rates in coastal areas. The new rules make manufacturers responsible for collecting discarded butts as well as transporting them for waste treatment.
Ireland introduced similar legislation on Thursday, requiring tobacco companies to contribute to the cost of cigarette litter.
