But in a very rural area of southern India, Paper Seed Co., an eco-friendly NGO, has created something the environment can benefit from: a single-use face mask that, when disposed of into the soil, blooms into plants.
Hand-produced in a small village community at an open air workshop, the masks will biodegrade when placed in a garden or in a landfill.Paper Seed Co., an eco-friendly NGO in southern India, says they created a single-use face mask that, when disposed of into the soil, blooms into plants. "We encourage more planting," Vas continued."However, the tree seeds were too big for our mask and the germination rate of flowers was very low, so we tried avoiding those and relied on tomato, basil, chili pepper, traditional tulsi and other vegetable seeds."When planted into soil and watered, the seeds start to germinate in about four to five days and will ultimately grow into a small patch of vegetable plants.
