Description
The world's first compostable mask with medical/surgical grade protection that's made in America! Supporting local manufacturing drastically reduces the amount of carbon emissions made during shipping. Instead of travelling thousands of miles to get to you these masks will travel a fraction of that.
Why does this matter? In North America less than 10% of all plastics are recycled. The other 90% predominantly ends up in our oceans, coastlines and waterways.
Since 2019 the surge in demand for PPE has generated over 57 Million pounds of plastic medical garbage and masks are among the most prevalent.
Researchers predict that plastic waste from the pandemic will have a long-lasting impact on ocean ecosystems, with most of it ending up in either the seabed (28.8%) or beaches (70.5%) by the end of the century.
What can we do about it? Using compostable materials supports cleaner waste management solutions. Composting is a biological process that is done at an industrial scale and converts organic waste back into nutrient rich soil. Not only does this divert plastic pollution from the environment, it supports biodiversity.
