The woman and minority-owned and run manufacturing company ELoMed™ has created the bio face mask: the first sustainably packaged, medical-grade face mask made of biodegradable materials. Corn, cassava, sugar cane, and sugar beet are some of the materials that create a biodegradable and hypoallergenic fabric for a comfortable and highly effective face mask that protects individuals and the environment.
The mission behind creating the bio face mask was in filling the industry gap between reusable fabric face masks and traditional disposable face masks which are made out of polypropylene. ELoMed suggests that while reusable fabric masks do better for the environment at face value, they do not offer viable protection for the consumers that wear them. Whereas for traditional disposable face masks, the opposite is often true: these products continue to create an exponential amount of plastic waste in our current pandemic global environment.
ELoMed's solution in creating the bio face mask offers a third option: a sustainable face mask with lab tested protection. Yielding a >98% Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and a notably high breathability rate, ELoMed face masks are lab tested to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards (F2100-101). Both the BFE and breathability of their sustainable masks markedly pass ASTM Level 2 requirements - making the bio face mask suitable for the healthcare industry as well.
Toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, carcinogens, and artificial dyes, which have been commonly detected in traditional face masks, ironically pose rising health concerns for face mask wearers. ELoMed face masks are manufactured using lab tested, toxic free materials. In the case of the bio face mask, using bio-based materials also lent itself to the masks' hypoallergenic and skin-friendly quality. With this, ELoMed also sends lab results, toxicity reports, and certifications to interested consumers in value of consumer transparency.
ELoMed sells their product online in packs of 50 with free shipping within the United States. They also offer global wholesale options for companies and facilities who would like to carry the bio face mask.
