The North London Waste Authority (NLWA) says this shocking side effect of the coronavirus pandemic is “creating a huge new plastic pollution problem” and is launching a campaign to encourage people to switch to reusable alternatives.
It found 70% of people who wear disposable facemasks did not know they are made out of single-use plastic.
The NLWA also highlights an additional health issue brought about by the way the masks are used and disposed of – nearly 18% of the public wrongly think disposable masks should be placed in the recycling bin after use, a misconception which is leading to contamination issues at recycling facilities.
