Next generation face-masks

Research Project, 2023 – 2025

Face masks have been massively used to minimize/prevent the spread of the current Covid 19 virus and other respiratory diseases. Most current face masks are the disposable ones; over 140 billion of such masks are globally used per month, which poses a significant burden on land filling and littering, and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions for their production and transportation.

This project is aimed to introduce, optimize and test a next generation of reusable face masks that have the highest quality and also provide an advantageous balance between efficiency and user comfort.
