Disposable mask? Or reusable mask?

Since COVID-19, nearly 129 billion disposable masks were estimated to be consumed by 2020. Disposable face masks prevent the transmission of SARS-COV-2 in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and they have become an essential part of our daily lives. Whether commuting on crowded public transport or visiting busy shops, we encounter countless germs and viruses. However, have you ever considered the hidden costs—both financial and environmental—of disposable masks?

Disposable Masks Are Killing Wildlife

Before the pandemic began, plastic pollution was already threatening wildlife. A report by a Hong Kong marine conservation group OceansAsia found PPE is intensifying plastic pollution. The conservation group estimated that 1.56 billion face masks entered the ocean in 2020.

Animals died after ingesting or becoming entangled in PPE that was not disposed of properly. For example, a penguin in Brazil swallowed a mask while hedgehogs and foxes in the United Kingdom got tangled in masks as well, reports Damian Carrington for the Guardian.

As always with these single-use items, they end up polluting the environment. It's ironic that the materials that protect us are so harmful to the animals around us.

The Mask Dilemma

With the ongoing presence of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and Monkeypox, protecting ourselves is crucial. Disposable masks may seem like a quick solution, but each mask is designed for one-time use, leading to a staggering amount of waste. In fact, billions of disposable masks are discarded daily, contributing to pollution and environmental degradation.

Moreover, once used, these masks become contaminated and ineffective against pathogens. It’s clear that relying solely on disposable masks is not a sustainable or effective long-term strategy for health and hygiene.
