Scientists have illustrated the concept of incorporating old masks into a cement mixture to make stronger and more durable concrete. This has happened with the widespread single-use masks during the pandemic presenting an environmental issue at present.

As the widespread use of single-use masks grows, a new study suggests an environmentally friendly solution to disposing of them: by using them in concrete.

The research team noted that medical masks contain fibers that could strengthen concrete

Production of cement is a carbon-intensive process, responsible for as much as 8% of carbon emissions worldwide.
