With the increasing spread of the delta strand of COVID-19 we are forced to be more vigilant in taking precautions against COVID-19.
Custom branded face masks are a great way to protect yourself, staff and clients while still getting your branding message out there, despite not being able to have face to face contact with them.
Face masks come in a range of materials – the single-use blue disposable masks are disposable but are being found littering our parking lots, waterways and streets. As mentioned in our previous blog on face masks, disposable masks are often made from polypropylene plastic and are creating their own environmental hazard as they cannot be readily biodegraded. Furthermore, as the plastic breaks down and fragments into smaller plastic particles, micro or nano-plastics, it can take up to 450 years to decompose.
A reusable face mask made from material (cotton, spandex, polyester) can be washed over and over again providing multiple-use thus cutting back on waste.
The more premium of material face masks have an internal pocket to allow the wearer to insert an extra layer of protection like a carbon filter etc. These are suitable up to 72 hours of use before being recommended to be replaced. The can filter out small particles as small as 2.5 microns in size (using a PM2.5 filter).
A mask with a nose clip helps with comfort and fit and may assist with reducing fogging of glasses when worn.
