Mask Bros has developed and launched the world's first fully recyclable face mask, EcoBreathe and accompanying national mask recycling service to address the environmental impact of disposable masks. EcoBreathe is made with non-woven, high-density polypropylene and manufactured to the gold standard as the 3 ply masks.
Simple Recycling and Easy Processing
Unlike conventional masks, the EcoBreathe mask is made entirely from one type of material and therefore does not require costly disassembly in the
recycling process. EcoBreathe can simply be disposed of through consumers' curbside recycling programs.
For consumers whose local authority doesn't offer plastic film recycling, Mask Bros include a prepaid return shipping label with every order free of charge. Consumers simply collect their masks in the resealable plastic bag, place them back in their box, and post them to Mask Bros after a 72-hour quarantine period. Mask Bros then collects and processes them at their warehouse, before shipping them in bulk to one of their recycling partners.
Mask Bros was established in May 2020 by two University of St Andrew’s graduates to provide low cost PPE after founding a charity to help tens of thousands of vulnerable people receive vital food supplies during lockdown. After supplying the British people with over 5.2 M masks in the past 3 months and raising awareness of price gouging, Mask Bros have worked hard to develop this game changing mask and return service, to encourage the continued use of safe and proven PPE while reducing the impact on the environment.
