Description
In the world full of crises, also the rising demand for PPE suits and masks would lead to another wave of biomedical waste disposion crises. Globally we end up using 129 billion disposable face masks, which means we are using 3 million face masks per minute. In this project by studying the project existed we basically concluded that material the masks are made of, a non-woven fiber, by mixing them with “special binders”. It makes them 4 times stronger thana traditional mudbrick. Papercrete is a sustainable material due to reduced amount of cement usage being used with recycled paper and when it infused with this non-woven fiber, it makes them even better.
