​What is Social Distancing? 

Social distancing is a term widely used since the COVID-19 outbreak. People are not allowed or discouraged to mingle in public. Some countries enforce stricter rules than others, but the bottom line is simple: keep your distance (1.5meters) and avoid contact or catching air from others.

This will allow for case-counts to flatten and for the Economy to restore much faster everywhere. Social distancing is currently applied in most countries globally.   

Cotton Masks Make Sense 

A cotton mask is perfect for a number of situations during social distancing. For example, you are less likely to touch your mouth, won't cough or anything for that matter on food at the super market, or simply staying aware when meeting up with someone. Everyone should wear them for it to make sense & to flatten the curve. 

On top of that, a cotton mask is washable up to 10 times. That means that you don't have to throw it away like other disposable masks, making a cotton mask far more sustainable for the environment. 

​What about Medical Masks? 

Medical masks are scarce today - allover the world. There is a lot of fraud & high prices going on - and sourcing masks is a complicated process that even governments often fail to do well. There are of course some legitimate medical grade face masks, but they should be prioritized for medical use only, not to enhance social distancing regulations. That is key for this moment.

With that in mind, we urge everyone that is in possession of medical PPE to contact your local authorities as soon as possible. 

A CHANGE IN MINDSET

We are big believers that the future will change. Yes, one day there will be flying cars, but we are not talking about that kind of change. We mean a change in the near future where we will see a movement of people wearing masks in public. There are millions of viruses still unknown to human-kind. The recent outbreak is an example of that. Cities are getting more dense and sharing economies are a reality. That means we should take the basic precautions as companies and as civilians. Whether we are working in an environment where there is a frequent contact with others or not, it is always better to be a slightly protected than no protection at all. That is where a cotton face mask comes in, away from medical grade gear, a more eco-friendly solution for civilian use. 

GIVING BACK

For every purchase order thresholding 10.000 cotton masks, we will commit 1.000 masks towards initiatives of your choice within the European Union. This means that if your company purchases 20.000 cotton masks, regardless if branded or non-branded, we will pledge and take care of logistics for 2.000 cotton masks towards a partner, charity or other initiative of your choice.
