Wool waste used as sustainable nonwoven for building applications

Chiara Rubino et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the potential conversion of wool waste into new raw materials suitable for building components by exploring the hygrothermal, acoustic and nonacoustic properties of nonwovens made of 100% wool waste fibers thermally bonded with polyester/copolyester bi-component fibers. The results showed that the tested nonwovens may represent a valid alternative for building applications, thus indicating a new research area in the field.

Single-use surgical face masks, as a potential source of microplastics: Do they act as pollutant carriers?

Ioannis Anastopoulos et al.

Summary: Millions of people are using face coverings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a large number of discarded masks entering the environment, potentially becoming a source of microplastic pollution that threatens marine life. Experimental results show that single-use surgical face masks can act as carriers of dye molecules in water environments. Thermal treatment of masks and using resulting carbonaceous materials as efficient adsorbents may offer a possibility for disinfection and recycling of used masks.

Preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of using polypropylene fibres from COVID-19 single-use face masks to improve the mechanical properties of concrete

Shannon Kilmartin-Lynch et al.

Summary: This study aims to define a procedure to evaluate the potential environmental, social, and economic benefits in paper and cardboard wasted in the unsorted fraction of municipal solid waste. The procedure, applied in the Campania region, consists of five phases and uses two methodologies to calculate sustainability indicators. Results confirmed the presence of a significant amount of recyclable materials in unsorted waste, with potential benefits in economic, environmental, and social aspects.

Repurposing of COVID-19 single-use face masks for pavements base/subbase

Mohammad Saberian et al.

Summary: This study proposes an innovative way to reduce pandemic-generated waste by recycling used face masks with other waste materials for civil constructions. Experimental results show that blends of shredded face masks and recycled concrete aggregate can meet the requirements for pavements base/subbase applications.

COVID-19 pandemic and emerging plastic-based personal protective equipment waste pollution and management in Africa

Nsikak U. Benson et al.

Summary: The threat of plastic waste pollution in African countries has been increasing exponentially since the declaration of the coronavirus as a pandemic. Factors contributing to this threat include increased consumption of single-use plastics, lack of proper waste management infrastructure, and urbanization. The widespread use of plastic-based personal protective equipment during the pandemic has led to a significant amount of waste being generated, with billions of masks being disposed of every month. This expert insight aims to draw attention to the potential risks of COVID-generated plastics and the environmental impacts that may exacerbate the existing plastic pollution crisis in Africa.
