From the beginning of 2020, by the impact of the epidemic, everyone for the mask demand is also more and more big, basically everyone he went out is required to be wearing a mask, because wearing a mask for themselves and others is a very safe thing. Can block the spread of the virus, in 2020, the epidemic just started, China's mask price is very expensive, a lot of people have money can not be grabbed, and then the national policy adjustments, coupled with a number of factories to expand the production line, in this case, the supply of masks slowly rose, the price is slowly back to normal, so many people will hoard a lot of masks inside the home.
Basically everyone will use a mask every day or more, in this case every day there will be tens of billions of masks around the world abandoned, masks it is mainly made of a special plastic, masks are very difficult to be degraded, according to some research we can also understand that a mask degradation will probably take up to 450 years of time, this degradation process can be said to be very amazing!
According to some studies, it takes about 450 years for a mask to degrade, and this degradation process can be considered very alarming.
According to statistics, we can understand that in 2020, there are more than 1.5 billion masks were discarded, flowed into the ocean, which is a very heavy disaster for the ocean, was now subject to global warming and the impact of the environment, for the ocean has caused very serious harm, some seawater pollution caused by a lot of animals appeared to extinction of this situation, masks are more aggravated. This phenomenon and the problem, a penguin died, volunteers found it inside the stomach and a mask, especially in the seabed there are a lot of animals, they are living with the mask, we in our daily life masks certainly still need to use, but after the use of masks, in its recycling and processing of the above should also pay attention to.
First of all, there is one thing that everyone can do, do not throw away the mask . Casually discarded masks will be with the wind or some external factors to the water, and then converge to the ocean, which is a very serious pollution, indulged in the seabed is difficult to be degraded, may be in the future will also lead to secondary pollution, so we can do is not randomly throw masks, masks can be collected after use and thrown in the garbage cans. In addition, the current masks for our own daily is not a good way to deal with, so we recycle to the need for waste treatment plants to deal with, which requires us to use the masks are to be put into the trash.
