Thanks to the pandemic, even those who didn’t know what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits are, do so now. Everyone from medical professionals, hotel staff, salon staff, and even brides & grooms are wearing them for protection.
IPS officer HGS Dhaliwal recently shared an image where PPE gowns were being used as makeshift scarecrows in a field.

Some people raised concerns and asked if used PPE kits were safe to be upcycled in this manner as there are specific guidelines laid out for their disposal.
Sir, are they used ones. Because if it is so , it’s dangerous.

They must be recycled rather than reusing, it’s good for fun👍..but it’s must not be practiced.

Others appreciated the ‘great Indian jugaad’ mentality which prevents us from letting anything go to waste.
God level recycling ♻
