LET'S STOP WASTE TOGETHER
Responsible consumption and production
VISION
We’re Changing the Way the World Thinks About Masks
Almost 129 billion face masks are used each month. That's over 3 million a minute! As you may know these masks cannot be recycled and head strait to landfill where they take almost 450 years to break down. Our goal is to reduce the number of masks that enter landfill each day and spread the word!

Our Aim
The Issue
Due to COVID mask wearing has become a part of our daily life.
​
This has caused a large number of masks to enter landfill each day, even reaching our beautiful beaches and parks.
​
This has caused negative effects towards our wildlife and recently found to even be harming us!
​
At Recycle Masks we want to do everything we can in order to prevent further damage towards our planet and protect the living things on it.
