A member asked:
For those disposable face masks, what material is used and can they actually be washed? throwing them away after one use seems to be a waste of resources.

But you are correct, in short supply there are listed ways to help prolong their life for multiple uses, although it is not 100% proven that these methods will not degrade their effectiveness.
