The challenge is to find relevant and reliable technologies for cleaning and decontaminating wearable equipments (masks, shirts, gloves...) and for making possible their recycling or the reuse.

Candidates of technology can be UV, gamma ray or others radiations treatments combined with the relevant collection and logistic issues.

Gamma radiation treatment of masks

Among potential technologies of decontamination of masks it can be considered using: Beta, gamma or ETO radations.

Ionisos company (https://www.ionisos.com/ ) is mastering such technologies and customizing currently them to the masks. Cooperations with others industrials and health organizations can be envisioned.
