What to do with all facemasks?

Over the past year, facemasks have become a part of all of our lives. Due to health concerns, disposable masks became the most common mask to wear. As of 2021, we are collectively throwing away 30 billion masks a month.

You may think these are made of a natural fabric like cotton but, they are actually made of 3 layers of non-woven polypropylene. As it turns out this works perfectly in the Precious Plastic machines. So if you have an idea and a shape in mind, chances are you can make it.
