Kuala Lumpur, 7 October 2021 - With the nationwide surge of disposable protective equipment taking a toll on the environment, AiruFlo, a reusable, modular face mask enters the market to provide users with superior protection, comfort, and breathability while reducing the threat of further pollution.
Since the pandemic began, a staggering gross of 10 million disposable face masks are estimated to be used and discarded daily but not all of them are disposed of properly. The consequences of not properly discarding masks could be harmful to our natural environment, particularly wildlife. In fact, a face mask is said to release 173,000 microfibers per day which ultimately not only affects water, air quality, and wildlife but can enter our lungs and bloodstream in the long term.
