FDA approves first plant-based procedural mask with earloops
In Canada, PADM Medical PRECISION ECO plant-based procedural mask with earloops is the first to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. FDA for use in medical and healthcare settings,
PADM Medical’s PRECISION ECO Plant Based procedural masks, made using ECOFUSE plant-based materials manufactured by Roswell Textiles from renewable crop resources, will help reduce the adverse impact on the environment of petroleum based, single use disposable face masks. The ECOFUSE materials are industrially compostable and by being plant based, help reduce the CO2 emissions of PRECISION ECO by approximately 55% compared to conventional petroleum-based masks. PRECISION ECO procedural masks generate carbon credits as a result of the net carbon reduction.
Additionally, the PRECISION ECO C ompostable/Plant Based Procedural Mask with Earloops is a USDA Certified Biobased product under the USDA BioPreferred Program with a biobased content of 82%.
