The year 2020 has been noted to be one of major calamity the world over, in which the majority of efforts in research and development have been dedicated towards combating the threat of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Ever since the announcement of COVID-19 as a pandemic, such efforts were dedicated towards the research of its spread and vaccination. Yet still, the world might reach a resolution via an environmental solution that various entities have overlooked, with a plethora of environmental benefits vis-à-vis waste management. In this short communication, the possibility of using plastic solid waste as a substrate to employ copper, and copper alloys and their nanocomposite nanopowders to be used as permanent surface protective coats, is presented. The fact that we present such materials to be of waste origin, is an added value advantage to their beneficial advantage of developing various commodities and products that could be used in our daily lives. Furthermore, the fact that such recyclable materials are susceptible to antiviral properties and chemicals, is an added value that we should not neglect.

众所周知，2020年是世界范围内的重大灾难之一，在这一年中，大部分研发工作都致力于抵抗新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）的威胁。自从宣布COVID-19大流行以来，就一直致力于研究其传播和疫苗接种。然而，世界仍可能通过各种实体所忽视的环境解决方案达成解决方案，相对于废物管理而言，它具有许多环境效益。在这种简短的交流中，提出了使用塑料固体废物作为基材来使用铜，以及将铜合金及其纳米复合纳米粉体用作永久性表面保护层的可能性。我们提供的此类材料是废物来源，增值优势是他们开发可用于我们日常生活的各种商品和产品的有利优势。此外，这种可回收材料易受抗病毒特性和化学物质影响的事实是我们不应忽视的附加值。
