Now, masks that grow into plants upon disposal

Paper Seed has come out with masks containing seeds

One-time face mask users now have the option of using cotton masks which grow into plants upon their disposal. A social entrepreneurship called Paper Seed, set up near Mangaluru, has come out with masks that contain seeds of tulsi and tomato. Paper Seed founder and artist Nitin Vas of Pakshikere told The Hindu that these masks have been made using cotton rags. “They are made from recycled rags and the inner linings are made with cotton cloth. They are thick enough to prevent infection,” he said.
