British Hospital Mask Recycling and Plastic Waste
British hospitals have implemented a recycling program to melt down billions of single-use plastic face masks into plastic granules. These granules are then repurposed to manufacture items such as chairs, trash cans, and reacher-grabbers. The program aims to address the massive environmental impact of the pandemic, as global mask usage is estimated at 129 billion units per month.
