In times of crisis, face masks and other personal protective equipment became a trend and green consumers are more likely to find something that not just protects themselves from the virus but which is also eco-friendly.

"Eco-friendly" is the term that has been on the move these past few years due to the rise of eco-conscious consumers. As a result, many companies are now claiming to be ‘ethical’ and ‘sustainable’. But without clear legal guidelines, it seems anyone can call themselves environmental-friendly.

 At its core, the word ‘eco-friendly’ means anything that doesn’t harm the environment, and it has been used to refer to products, lifestyle choices, services, and facilities that contribute to green living practices.

With brands taking advantage of the term, though, the essence of the word appears to have diminished to a mere marketing scheme. But how can consumers say if the products are actually environmentally friendly or not? 

The Rise of Green Consumerism

People are becoming more aware of how their actions impact the environment, thanks to social media. 

The effects of rising sea levels, depleting ozone layers and species extinction have flooded our screens with news and documentaries.

Consumers have started taking action to preserve the environment in an effort to mitigate the effects of climate change and rising pandemics, thus, the word 'sustainability' has suddenly become a trend.

Looking for an eco-friendly, reusable face mask? 

Before you buy any cotton mask, it's worth knowing that these face masks are for non-surgical purposes only. Our masks are as eco-friendly as possible. Please only note that they are not biodegradable.

Our masks and respirators are made from breathable fabrics and can be reused over and over again. This means that you do not trash them each time you wore them - you just wash them in lukewarm water, dry them and wear them again. That way, you don’t need to buy many face masks. You just need two or three masks as a backup or exchange rather other day.

They are good to wear if you're heading to your local shop, traveling to work on public transport, or going for a walk in a public place.

Please ensure the cleanliness and proper hygiene by washing your hands before putting the reusable face mask on, before removing it and after you have taken it off.
