Pandemic states might become common.

If so, the use of PPE will become a daily need in all departments not only infectious disease units or operating theatres. The world is already drowning in plastic. 

Our seas are flooded. We cannot afford to keep producing daily tonnes of plastic through disposable PPE now and not in future pandemic states.

We need to produce reusable PPE. That is the reason we are advocating for local production of reusable PPE rather than import disposable and mostly plastic PPE.
