The Benefits of Choosing Reusable Masks

Adapting to the new way of life is crucial for all types of businesses, especially those with public-facing environments. With the wearing of a face covering being a legal requirement for employees in shops, supermarkets and many other indoor workspaces, you need to ensure that yours are effectively protected and doing everything they can to keep customers and co-workers safe.

Reusable face masks are an excellent safety solution for companies of all shapes and sizes, as they come with multiple benefits when compared to the disposable variety. Below are some of the advantages that they offer, making them the right choice for everything from pubs and restaurants to hotels and entertainment venues.

Better for the environment

As with any kind of product that can only be used once, single-use face masks are very bad for the planet. Aside from huge volumes of materials being required during their production, they also get sent to landfill very quickly or, even worse, are discarded irresponsibly and enter our local ecosystems.

Single-use face masks are already being found in our oceans, rivers and land-based habitats, so choosing a double-layer mask that can be washed dozens of times is a great way to minimise your impact on the environment.

Save the surgical masks for the HSE

Surgical grade face masks are in very short supply and simply don’t need to be used by businesses and the general public. Providing that your reusable face covering is of a good quality, it will do the job of preventing droplets from travelling through the air, which in turn greatly reduces the risk of other people being infected.

Our many types of high-quality reusable face masks are perfect for keeping your staff protected and compliant. Meanwhile, the face masks that are specifically designed for medical and healthcare environments remain available to the professionals who need them most.

Significant savings

It’s amazing how much money your business can save when it purchases reusable face masks instead of disposable ones. The more staff you have, the more cash you’ll save thanks to equipping employees with our range of comfortable to wear face coverings.

Even if your business is relatively small, you’ll still benefit from significantly reduced costs. This can play a major role in helping you to stay in control of your cash flow and profit margins.

Your staff won’t forget them

Another problem with single-use face masks is that, as the name suggests, they have to be disposed of after just one use. When your staff have washable masks, they can use the same one multiple times and it becomes part of their daily routine. This makes it a lot less likely for them to forget their mask before leaving the house or when returning to the workplace after lunch.

Multiple choices available

We stock numerous types of washable face coverings, ranging from the reusable 2-ply grey mask that’s strong, comfortable and highly effective at preventing the spread of disease, to the Supafleece Snood Hat, which can be used as a hat or a neck cowl, making it ideal during the winter months.

We also supply visors, face shields and other styles of reusable and machine washable face masks, allowing you to select the design that best suits your requirements and budget.
