This study aims to investigate how to recycle used FFP2 face masks during the Covid-19 pandemic and characterize the properties of the obtained material. By avoiding the previous sorting process, a new and simplified way of recycling face masks is provided, offering an opportunity for the polymers to have a second life.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how to recycle FFP2 face masks used during Covid-19 pandemic without using previous sorting process and to characterize the properties of the material obtained. The way of splitting and processing the mixture of materials was studied as well as the final properties such as chemical, thermal and mechanical characteristics. The resulting recycled material is a blend of polymers with such mechanical and thermal properties that could be used as an alternative to recycled PP (polypropylene). Avoidance of previous sorting process gives the face mask recycling a new and simplified way of preventing this material to be disposed in environment and an opportunity of second life for the polymers they are made of. With this work we lay the basis to reduce the plastic pollution related with the recommended use of face masks during Covid-19 pandemic. [GRAPHICS] .
