JAKARTA - During the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB), many people flocked to use disposable masks to protect themselves from the transmission of the corona virus. However, the use of disposable masks creates other problems.

At least from April until now, 93.03 kilograms of disposable mask waste have been collected from the TPS Dipo PLN Cililitan which were taken to Cilegon to be destroyed.

This destruction is carried out so that the disposable mask waste is no longer used by residents. There is concern that this could lead to new diseases, from viruses and bacteria that are left behind.

In the process, environmental officers will sort out the disposable mask waste that has been collected. Furthermore, the waste must be sprayed with a disinfectant liquid to make it sterile before being destroyed.
