G95 Company Has New Plant-based Biodegradable Masks

Coronavirus has contributed to a lot of landfill waste with single-use masks and PPE. All of which is necessary to keep us safe, but we can now do it more responsibly with G95 masks. The masks are entirely biodegradable and closes the recycling loop. The article states that when you are done with your masks, you can simply mail them back in the provided packaging for free, and the company will recycle them into new masks. Not only do the masks biodegrade in 90 days if they reach the environment or landfill, but they are also fully lab-tested and certified. This is an excellent option for personal use and for companies that want to supply masks sustainably.

Everything related to the newly developed Oceanshield mask—from the ear loops to the nose bridge—is made entirely using plant-based PLA materials which is 100% biodegradable. This includes the bags they ship in, the individual wrappers for each product, and the G95 filtration technology built-in.
