Recent studies (2021) show the world is using 129 billion disposable plastic face masks per month.

study by Klemeš 2020 shows that a mask production consumes about 10-30 Wh energy and releases 59 g CO2-eq greenhouse gas to the environment.

So based on 20Wh producing these masks is consuming 2,580,000,000 kWh of electricity, and producing 7,611,000,000 kg of carbon per month

Wonder where all those micro plastics are going to end up?
