Circular Programme and the new life of used tobacco sticks - IQOS x Steve Aoki recycled Jacket
In recent years, IQOS has introduced a number of initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our products. IQOS X Steve Aoki Recycled Jacket is one of the examples of our commitment to these initiatives and represents an example of achieving the vision of the Circular Program and commitment to reducing and recycling waste from our products.
The filling of the IQOS x Steve Aoki jacket is made from cellulose acetate obtained from over 1,000 used tobacco sticks collected through the Philip Morris Circular Program in the Czech Republic. The filling material has undergone a cleaning process to be odorless, and then it was processed into long, fluffy fibers that make up 77% of the jacket’s inner filling. The remaining 23% is polyester. The design of the IQOS x Steve Aoki recycled jacket is inspired by Steve Aoki’s Japanese roots and samurai armor.
Only 1,000 pieces of this jackets were produced world-wide and is not available for sale in Croatia.

The Device Circular Programme allows you to reduce your impact on the environment by returning your old IQOS and lil devices and their original electronic accessories (cables, chargers, adapters, etc.) so that we can recycle them and parts that cannot be recycled will be used for energy recovery. It is a free and easy way to return devices you no longer use.
