Australia faces the challenge of “garbage masks”

Australian scientists warn that the country is facing a challenge from a new type of waste that floods the environment, which is masks and rapid test kits.

Since the time when wearing masks became compulsory in Australia, mask waste has increased significantly. And when people were allowed to test themselves for COVID-19 at home, rapid antigen test kits were thrown everywhere.

It is worrying that the recycling of these new types of waste has not found a solution, because they have been listed as biohazardous waste.

Currently, Australian authorities are considering a solution to reuse discarded masks for other purposes.
