An Environmentally Friendly Solution for Waste Facial Masks Recycled in Construction Materials

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, single-use disposable masks saw a dramatic rise in production. Facial that are not properly disposed of will expose environment form non-biodegradable plastic waste take hundreds years degrade. Therefore, recycling such an eco-friendly manner is imperative. Fibered or shredded can be used make green concrete environmentally friendly solution dispose facial masks. This study prepared six classes samples, three which contained fibers from and at ages seven days 28 days. The results show seven-day 28-day mask fiber added mixes resulted increased compressive strength. For strength by 7.2% 10%, respectively. Despite that, addition indicate increase volume has minor impact on samples. An 0.75 1% 14%. However, decreased 8 after volume. According thermal analysis as percentage increases, mass loss increases. rate for samples containing higher than pieces. general, based mentioned above, use its state enhances properties. As result, using pieces leads better curing due reduction residual capillary pore water construction materials.
