The study aims to create a low-cost, reusable face mask that effectively protects against COVID-19, other infections, and dust allergies while reducing plastic waste.
The mask features a unique design with layers made from waste-derived PET and non-woven polypropylene, ensuring comfort, breathability, and high filtration efficiency, while allowing for clear speaking and preventing fog on glasses.
It is affordable at Rs. 17 (about 0.22 USD) and can be reused up to 30 washes, contributing to the fight against COVID-19 for over 600,000 people while promoting green technology.
