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 aย double-layer maskย that can be washed dozens of times is a great way to minimise your impact on the environment.
Surgical grade face masks are in very short supply and simply donโt 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.
Itโs 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 youโll save thanks to equipping employees with our range of comfortable to wear face coverings.
Even if your business is relatively small, youโll 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.
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.
We stock numerous types of washable face coverings, ranging from theย reusable 2-ply grey maskย thatโs strong, comfortable and highly effective at preventing the spread of disease, to theย 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,ย face shieldsย and other styles of reusable and machine washableย face masks, allowing you to select the design that best suits your requirements and budget.
