    		EVERYTHING is Biodegradable on a long enough time scale. The Biodegradability is determined upon the type of material used in the filter. Some filters are soluble in Acetone some are not.

    Primary filter composition is Acetate.

    		Car tires are not biodegradable unless you consider 1000 years to be acceptable. Most cigarette filter litter hangs away to long to be biodegradable.
