Face covering recycled saris, assorted colours, medium 21x15.5cm
Shared Earth is delighted to be able to offer this timely initiative of WFTO-Asia, the PeoplesMask.

Single face covering, colours will vary

It's a washable, re-usable face covering made of recycled sari material, designed for non-medical use. The PeoplesMask is based on the HK Mask design, a joint venture between Dr K Kwong and local filtration and engineering companies in Hong Kong. It allows a disposable filter or tissue to fit inside a pocket of a re-usable face covering; recent laboratory tests have shown this increases the efficiency of the face covering to between 83% and 91%, depending on the thickness of the tissue inserted.

This initiative also aims to provide work for some of the thousands of artisans in Asia who have lost their jobs because of the lockdowns in their countries. It is a small step made by the global Fair Trade community in the fight against Covid-19. We are buying the PeoplesMask from a WFTO member in Sri Lanka. The production process follows guaranteed Fair Trade standards and the factory has been cleared by the local authorities for compliance under Covid-19 preventative measures.

Please note this is a non-returnable item unless faulty.
