Abstract:A tremendous amount of the nonbiodegradable microplastic waste has been generated after the outbreak of COVID‐19 by the widespread use of single‐use personal protective equipment, especially disposable medical masks (DMMs). This has caused harm to the health and safety of human beings and various organisms. Finding a way to properly deal with these single‐use medical wastes has become an urgent problem. In this paper, an innovative way was explored to use DMMs in geopolymer (GP). The physical properties, mecha… Show more
