Recycled PPE could make roads to tackle waste

4th February 2021 6:00 am 3rd February 2021 2:31 pm A new study is exploring how single-use PPE can be recycled to make roads as a circular economy solution to pandemic-generated waste. A sample of the recycled road-making material, which blends shredded single-use face masks with processed building rubble. Credit: RMIT University Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, described how using the material from three million disposable face masks could make just one kilometre of a two-lane road, preventing 93 tonnes of waste from going to landfill. The new road-making material developed by the team is a mix of shredded single-use masks and processed building rubble designed to meet civil engineering safety standards. Their analysis explained how the face masks help to add stiffness and strength to the final product, which is designed to be used for base layers of roads and pavements.

How recycled face masks can be used to make roads

This is a result of the spike in demand for PPE, which eventually ends up in landfills Australian engineers found that face masks can be recycled and used to make roads The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for personal protective equipment – but this has led to an increase in waste, especially from single-use face masks. Globally, an estimated 6.8 billion disposable face masks are being used on a daily basis. A study investigating the accumulation of plastic waste during the pandemic found that PPE has caused a tremendous increase in pollution. According to a more recent study, the solution to this mounting problem may lie in repurposing face masks – by using them in road building.

Roads could soon be made of FACE MASKS

Around 6.8 billion disposable face masks are used globally every day Researchers found a way to mix decontaminated masks with rubble for roads Found 1% face masks to 99% rubble meets civil engineering standards The addition of the plastic fibres from masks also increase strength and stiffness Researchers hope the discover can help remove some masks from landfill as it takes 3million masks to create a 1-km long stretch of road

How used face masks could soon be used to build ROADS thanks to Australian researchers

Often found lying in streets, single-use face masks might be turned from road litter into roads thanks a novel process developed by Australian researchers. A study from Melbourne s RMIT University has shown about three million masks can be recycled to build a kilometre of a two-lane road, preventing 93 tonnes of waste from going to landfill. The new road-making material is a mix of one per cent shredded single-use face masks and 99 per cent processed building rubble.
