LONDON, May 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Surgical masks manufacturing companies are increasingly investing to make surgical masks biodegradable and reduce plastic pollution. With heavy use of surgical masks globally due to the Covid-19 pandemic, companies and consumers are realizing the importance of biodegradable and reusable masks. Companies such as Cambridge and Aniwon have already invested in biodegradable and reusable surgical masks to mitigate pollution concerns and create reusable options for consumers. Other companies such as AirX have launched a biodegradable face mask made from Vietnamese coffee. The mask provides two layers of protection. The first layer is woven from coffee yarn and the second layer has a biodegradable filter on the inside which is developed by silver nanotechnology and coffee. The mask is washable and reusable and the filter has to be replaced after 30 days. The company is currently developing a mask with the N-95 feature and the product is expected to be launched soon according to the company's spokesperson.

Reusable Silicon Face Mask

Manufacturers of surgical masks or face masks are now trying to develop reusable face mask from other materials such as silicone, which can be easily washed and sterilized, and can give better results than fabric and paper masks. In the midst of the devastating PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) shortage, there are many companies who are diverting from the production line of their original products and have started manufacturing masks to combat the COVID-19 crisis. For instance, in April 2020, Get It Right (GIR), a manufacturer of kitchen utensils, introduced face masks made from medical-grade silicone, which have a pocket for a filter and are available in multiple colors. These masks can be sterilized either in the dishwasher, with disinfecting products, or can be generally washed with soap and water.
