Bedfordshire residents being urged to choose a “reusable mask”
Plastic Free Bedford and local Green Party councillors are encouraging residents to consider the environment when choosing a face covering to wear.
The call comes as new guidelines mean that from 24 July 2020 face coverings will be compulsory for shop customers.
The group said that the problem with single-use masks is that they are most often made from non-biodegradable and non-recyclable materials. Adding that these are harmful to the environment and add to the existing problem of single-use plastics and littering.
