I spent long time of my life among the most beautiful beaches in the world and there's no greater joy than walking barefoot on the clean sand.
"The sea covers 71% of our planet and it is the second lung of the earth. Taking care of it is a bit like embracing the world. Let's start from us!"

SAVE
To preserve the environment with a smart, practical, innovative and dynamic object we introduce you: SAVE
It's handy and easy to move.
Fully eco-friendly and made with totally recycled material. It can be used everywhere in all the world’s beaches.
HOW DOES IT LOOK?
Born to safeguard our planet and the environment we live in.
It shows up with a smart and cute design with bright and glossy colors.
It is composed by two elements: a container and one extractable net.
It's standard size makes it easy to place SAVE directly on the sand.
It lends it's versatility both on format and the color customization.
Light, handy and easy to carry, you can take it with you anywhere.
HOW CAN I USE IT?
SAVE is simple and functional:
I bring it with me on the beach or in a Beach Resort.
I just have to fill it with sand and use it for my entire stay to the sea.
Finally, at the end of the day, simply extracting our net and…voilà!
All the cigarette butts will be separated and ready to throw away.
The clean sand is ready to return to the beach and, of course, our SAVE is happy and ready to be used again.
OUR GOAL?
Safeguarding and protecting our planet and the beauty of our seas, the beauty of our beaches and territories.

What We Need & What You Get
SAVE is our idea of a better world. A world where our seas and our beaches are safeguarded from cigarette butts in a simple yet meaningful way.
An idea that now needs your help to be brought to life and to be able to make a real impact in the world.
Why SAVE needs 100.000 euros
- First stage: 3D printed prototype development
- Second stage: Making the mold
- Third stage: Production
- Fourth stage: Promotion and distribution in 3 pilot seaside resort
We divided SAVE business plan this way, so that if we don’t reach the final goal, we can still proceed with the first stages of the plan.
The Impact
4.5 trillion cigarettes are littered worldwide every year; they are the most littered item in the world, and a major problem at our beaches.
A San Diego State University study showed that one cigarette soaked in the water for 96 hours leached enough toxins to kill half of the fresh or saltwater fish exposed to it.
Considered that most litter occurs within 5 meters of a garbage receptacle, you can see how your support to the SAVE project could make a real difference for this problem.

SAVE philosophy is all about the little things that are able to make a huge impact. So, if you just can’t contribute, you can help us getting the word out by sharing the SAVE project.
