The Belgian NGO company has found a way to use human hair clippings to save the environment. Belgian NGO, Dung Dung, is using human hair to absorb environmental pollutants as part of the Hair Recycle Project, as reported by EuroNews.
Human hair is capable of absorbing environmental pollutants, according to a non-profit organisation based in Belgium. The Hair Recycle Project, conducted by the non-profit called Dung Dung, is aimed towards developing waste recovery tactics and how they can be used to boost the economy.
The project found that a kilogram of human hair can absorb around seven to eight litres of oil and hydrocarbons. According to the scientists, this can be used to absorb the oil and hydrocarbons which contribute towards polluting the air and can even be used to stop water pollution and oil spills.
