Sustainble PPE Solutions

Hello all, 

Does anyone else agree?

Healthcare needs to find a way to turn to Sustainable PPE rather than single-use which is causing such environmental damage?

12 Months after COVID was announced as a pandemic by WHO, everyone was dependant on the blue "paper" masks, using 129 billion per month!  And in actual fact, they aren't just paper, but polypropylene too, the same as in drinking straws! (https://www.roadrunnerwm.com/blog/impact-of-ppe-waste)

Me and my colleges have created a design concept for different options of Sustainable PPE, but are looking at gathering thoughts / ideas on them first.  If anyone knows of someone who can help with this, please let me know!

Thanks Shiwei, I have read up about that.  The work she is doing is brilliant!  Sustainable PPE is definately the only way out of this environmental mess!
