Roswell Textiles, alongside its sister company and commercial partner, PADM Medical, has announced the use of its plant-based nonwoven materials, Ecofuse, in Canada's first plant based, medical grade procedural mask (Viraloc Eco). The Viraloc Eco face mask has a 65 per cent carbon footprint reduction, when compared to a traditional synthetic mask. The use of Ecofuse materials in the Viraloc Eco product (and PADM Medical USA's Precision Eco product for the US market) means that this product is now in compliance with sustainability initiatives and requirements under The Paris Agreement, COP26, WHO, the Canadian Governments 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, the US Federal Buy Clean Initiative, the US Inflation Reduction Act, the US Building a Clean Energy Economy and general US federal sustainable procurement initiatives, Roswell Textiles stated in a press release.
