Abstract
Disposable mask waste can decompose into the environment for hundreds of years, so waste management is needed to support sustainable and environmentally friendly products. One solution to dealing with disposable mask waste is the manufacture of 3D printing filaments. A product is said to be sustainable and environmentally friendly if it can be ascertained that the product has minimal impact on the environment. The method used to assess the environmental impact of a product is Life Cycle Assessment. This research is limited to cradle-to-gate by analyzing the manufacture of filaments made from disposable mask waste mixed with polypropylene. Based on calculations, it is known that the production of filaments made from mask waste has the potential to produce greenhouse gases, acidification, and eutrophication. However, this research can be a good step to produce products made from waste and supporting sustainability.
