Discarded masks create plastic pollution, posing numerous challenges to recycling

2021-06-21

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been raging for more than a year, and the demand for masks needed for epidemic prevention has also increased significantly, exacerbating another pandemic problem: plastic pollution. Therefore, people in the United States, France and Australia have found ways to recycle them, but the challenge remains daunting. According to a survey by the American Chemical Society, about 129 billion disposable masks are currently used worldwide each month. These masks are made of polypropylene, elastic bands and metal. After use, they are usually thrown into the trash and landfilled or incinerated, but they may also be littered and pollute streets, rivers and oceans, thereby harming wildlife. Agence France-Presse reported that researchers and companies are looking for ways to make good use of used masks. For example, Australian researchers are looking for ways to make masks into paving materials, some people in the United States are making benches from recycled masks, and there are companies in France that recycle masks into car mats. However, these pioneering businesses are still a long way from being profitable. Source: Environmental Information Center
