Myriad Face Coverings
In collaboration with Melisa Gooding, we’ve launched a range of sustainable and reusable non-medical face coverings.
In line with our circular principles, all face coverings are made from upcycled fabric. This not gives a new lease of life to textiles, it helps reduce plastic pollution associated with single-use face masks.
The essence of circularity.
Every mask is triple lined
Contains a pocket where you can add a filter
Machine Washable
We recommend putting masks in a wash bag when washing
fasten comfortably around ears
Contain either elastic or ties for easy fastening
Why go reusable?
Face coverings are now compulsory on public transport in both England and Scotland. A dramatic surge in personal protective equipment (PPE) is expected over the coming weeks. For many, this may be welcome news, signifying the easing of lockdown restrictions and a return to work. However, it’s not such positive news for the planet.
Most medical face masks are commonly made from polypropylene, which is single use, non-biodegradable and non-recyclable. According to a WWF report, the incorrect disposal of just 1% of masks results in as many as 10 million masks per month polluting the environment.
Using a washable, reusable face covering means that supplies of clinical PPE remain available for the people on the frontline who really need them, and reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste being created.
“The use of reusable masks by the general population would significantly reduce plastic waste and the climate change impact of any policy requirements for the wearing of face masks”
