Given that it takes 450 years for a face mask to decompose, recycling is key for the future of our planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645869549576-4U7EJ3LNIPBT5U9JOZXK/Screenshot+2022-02-25+200610.jpg How It Works Let's have student and community groups collect face masks. Mask recycling is more complicated and requires an organized effort with recycling partners to get the job done. Smart Mask Recycling has done just that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645862559878-ZAOHD2KXYL9R3RD4JHUL/Screenshot+2022-02-25+200011.jpg How It Works A collection of a bag of face masks ready for recycling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/29de61c8-4e4a-45f3-b910-461f04211fc3/Smart+Mask+Recycling+%281%29.png How It Works Keeping facemasks off our streets and protecting owl populations in one fell swoop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/83e41706-0122-4f02-a4e4-d2be5b720455/IMG_6229.JPEG How It Works Mask recycling cans arriving for the San Francisco Bay Area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645868327905-2LFOBW0X0NRULJT83U7U/Screenshot%2B2022-02-25%2B201240.jpg How It Works Collection bids are placed in schools and community gathering areas. Students, teachers, and community members are in charge of one recycling mask bin. Once full, the box and bags are sealed and sent back to TerraCycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/b9a2cf6a-7d36-4f23-b577-15de19d632b1/IMG_6387.JPEG How It Works Collection box at US Post Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/be629201-83e0-4340-a74a-b1977d4355bd/IMG_6395.JPEG How It Works Collection bin at CA library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/ef8e1c24-ed5d-48d0-924b-8c14c4583a54/IMG_8586.JPEG How It Works Collecting masks in Pennsylvania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/c070c692-d4e6-4502-a7ae-8ba97c09a926/image0+%282%29.jpeg How It Works Collecting masks at USC Business School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/68f91075-b0a8-48c3-b582-9f0a965ffc3a/IMG_9814.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/27fe1963-a0a1-492e-b2fb-040dce3559c0/IMG_5176.jpeg How It Works Collecting masks in Pennsylvania's Haverford School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/41fc258c-cb0b-4cf6-9467-df6e9f0df514/IMG_9904.JPEG How It Works Collecting masks at post offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645861065770-Y3TQZOASKKZXFXPALD25/Screenshot+2022-02-25+195854.jpg How It Works Collecting mask for recycling and ultimately to make owl houses. Bags of masks are dropped off at partner recycling centers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1646070544956-1KEWRZKVS8S7SRDEFYWR/Screenshot+2022-02-28+091343.jpg How It Works Here are the layers of polypropylene in a surgical mask. These layers of polypropylene can all be recycled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858311516-NF31F73YFIX8WROZU8ZJ/Screenshot+2022-02-25+201049.jpg How It Works Face masks are collected and taken to recycling center partners. It is difficult to recycle face masks in typical recycling centers since it involves more care. Our partner TerraCycle recycles these materials for us in the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/ebe128cc-02c9-4409-a69c-f7553db5dc21/IMG_1569.jpg How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858428636-0UZB3FOWADJMR4HTLHPS/Screenshot+2022-02-25+201011.jpg How It Works Face mask recycling at work The different materials types are then sent to third-party processing partners that recycle the materials into usable forms (i.e., non-woven plastics are recycled into plastic pellets and granules.) The metals are manually removed and sent locally for smelting into new bar stock and metal sheeting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/2bd0892c-db32-47e3-a4ef-03937ceb534a/IMG_1575.jpg How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/11bddf5d-a58d-4db4-893e-cb0476e19deb/IMG_1580.jpg How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858259434-RM7F2YS5IOZ6CIGS1OYR/Screenshot+2022-02-25+201121.jpg How It Works Recycling masks are used to make poly building material for owl houses. The polypropylene-dominant mixture from the face mask is densified into a crumb-like raw material that’s used in plastic lumber. This poly lumber comes in different thicknesses which we paint and use as the roof for the owl houses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858629927-RAUXDXJHH8JTQWQ5YFI4/Screenshot+2022-02-25+195000.jpg How It Works Endangered owls will live safely in provided owl homes. Owls can live 10 years in the wild, but sadly that number is typically two years given hard winters and difficulty finding places to live. If the owl habitat is stable and there is a food supply, owls can thrive. Barn owls, in particular, do not build their own nest so in a developing world, providing owl houses boost their population and further help the control of rodents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/ba8fc4f6-b58c-4c8f-ab8d-1fa9a975b17e/Screenshot+2022-03-07+144304.png How It Works Here is a map of the distribution and endangerment of barn owls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858358368-SE73OW6LKKSXQN06Y6MX/Screenshot+2022-02-25+194929.jpg How It Works Sadly, construction and development have displaced many owls. With more urban areas and buildings, owls are in jeopardy of finding homes to take care of young owlets and live. For these reasons and many others, owls are endangered and need protection and safe homes to thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/ca6d619b-6f52-46cd-9bf6-5dbd1d1545bf/IMG_1599.jpg How It Works Our recycled material owl home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/5aab16b8-d183-494a-9dd4-6eb77f55b002/IMG_6424.jpg How It Works SRN leaders building barn owl houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/2a7d6a6e-43b1-4cc1-8259-ed28e76a18b9/IMG_6625.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/cbfa7cff-ac88-4994-ad68-2e071b3e12f1/IMG_6443.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/dca9d4f3-7a65-400f-a31b-c95f81f1ff42/IMG_6586.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/4a46213c-cebd-4b85-863e-4de33e440b69/IMG_1589.jpg How It Works Another barn owl house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/5df5a3d7-0b29-4b28-a33b-fdcce036fe95/IMG_6597.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/8292fa1a-6277-43f4-8ad5-550f5526552e/IMG_6483.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/b23cfd67-a5e2-400a-9db4-9dad27ea06ef/IMG_6414.JPEG How It Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/d2c2edb1-1770-4097-978f-afeb2a1210c8/IMG_1598.jpg How It Works Our recycled material screech owl box https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/e9861bb8-cc3e-41df-9bd7-df2ca02dd941/IMG_1600.jpg How It Works Using recycled lumber to put up an owl box. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645858481615-UM0LKJFD4FK3HS7G0407/Screenshot+2022-02-25+194534.jpg How It Works Helping owls helps our communities avoid rodent poison boxes. With more owls, gardeners and farmers can use less poison in their crops to kill rodents including mice, voles, and rats. An entire barn owl family can eat thousands of pests and rodents during their nesting period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621856f659d4dd18fecfd3b5/1645859389785-4FKD83NN4YYF2FNLSU0J/Screenshot+2022-02-25+230933.jpg How It Works The earth is happy too. This two-part solution of recycling masks in order to make owl boxes works for everyone.
