A brand new idea has hit the rails following the mass manifestation of blue medical masks being applied and used worldwide. Going biodegradable could be the future and for a good cause.
Here’s an innovative way to make bees happy: 100% biodegradable masks with flower seeds, ready for planting! The woman behind the idea, Marianne de Groot-Pons, a graphic designer living and working in Utrecht, the Netherlands, states on her website:
Ms Groot-Pons is a graphic designer living and working in Utrecht, the Netherlands. For years she has been working on using many resources from nature to make drawings on paper, and lately, giving back to mother nature has been something on her mind.
“For weeks, I fell on blue disposable masks, thrown on the streets and sidewalks, so I woke up one morning with the idea of a biodegradable face mask with flower seeds on it,” she said.
Soft cords made out of sheep wool are used for the loops where they go around the ear. The logo on the mask is even made from sustainable ink.
To what extent do these masks really protect? Have they been checked? This face mask protects the same as homemade fabric masks. This means that they can be used in combination with another mask for greater protection. The material is rice paper and contains flower seeds that are even visible. Produced in a small workshop in the Netherlands.
Once you used the mask you should bury it in the garden or in a large pot.
