Surgical masks are typically not recyclable due to their composition, which often includes multiple materials like polypropylene and other plastics that are not suited for traditional recycling processes. Additionally, they may be contaminated with biological materials, making them unsuitable for recycling. It's recommended to dispose of them in the trash instead. Some facilities are exploring specialized recycling programs for personal protective equipment, but these are not widely available.
