Ekoroll has introduced a disposable paper ashtray designed to support cleaner outdoor environments in hospitality venues and public spaces. The product is manufactured primarily from paper-based materials and is intended for single use in areas where smoking waste is commonly generated.
The ashtray is produced using folded paperboard structures that allow it to be supplied flat and assembled quickly at the point of use. The design includes grooves to hold smoking sticks while they are extinguished and a compartment that collects ash and used filters before disposal. According to the company, the product incorporates a heat-resistant lining that allows the paper structure to withstand hot ash during short-term use.
From a packaging perspective, the product demonstrates how fibre-based materials can be engineered into functional containment formats beyond traditional product packaging. The structure relies on carton-style folding and forming techniques that enable compact transport and efficient storage prior to use.
The format is intended for locations such as outdoor cafés, restaurants, hotels, events, beaches and designated smoking areas where waste from smoked products can accumulate. By providing a dedicated receptacle, the product aims to help reduce litter in public spaces and simplify waste collection for operators and municipal authorities.
The ashtray surface can also be printed with information or branding, allowing hospitality venues and event organisers to incorporate messaging related to cleanliness or environmental awareness.
The launch reflects growing interest in paper-based disposable formats that combine packaging design principles with practical waste-management applications in the service and hospitality sectors.
