SUSTAINABLE FACE MASKS AND SNOODS WITH MICROBE-


RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY 1TCA has launched the first British-made reusable, sustainable and recyclable face masks and snoods manufactured using GRS fabric woven from recycled waste plastic and treated with HeiQ Viroblock technology.


Working in collaboration with sustainability-driven business Project Plan B, 1TcA were aware of the risk of face coverings acting as vectors for viruses and bacteria. Before, during and after use there is a risk of fabric contamination and the transfer of pathogens to and from the surface of the face masks. This can occur when putting them on and taking them off, during disposal and when touching the mask whilst wearing or during adjustment of the fit. The addition of HeiQ Viroblock technology makes the fabric resistant to harmful microbes.


HeiQ Viroblock is one of the first textile finishing technologies that have been successfully tested in a laboratory against the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease, SARS-CoV-2, using the Viral Stability and Persistence test method. Fabrics and textiles treated with HeiQ Viroblock are resistant to microbes, germs, viruses and bacteria. It inhibits the persistence and growth of viruses and bacteria on the fabric and is a combination of HeiQ’s specially- engineered antimicrobial silver technology and a vesicle technology. The silver releases silver-ions to kill


the bacteria and inhibit their growth. HeiQ Viroblock is certified as safe and sustainable as all its ingredients are cosmetic grade, bio-based and recycled.


1TcA masks and snoods not only tackle the issue of cross contamination and help protect the end- user from viruses, germs and bacteria but are also environmentally friendly. The treatment on the face covering lasts for up to 30 washes at energy saving 30°C. The fabric offers durability and has a soft touch making it comfortable for end-users to wear for extended periods of time. The expected life span of these products is approximately one year, after which they can be returned for recycling and this ensures a cyclical closed loop that doesn’t endanger the planet and maintains the ecosystem.


The team at 1TcA: One Thought Changes All, consists of three professional mothers who have joined forces to develop and distribute the face coverings with all net profits from sales going towards funding sustainable charity development projects in the UK and globally.


Founder of 1TcA comments: “Our durable and reusable face coverings offer an ethical and environmentally sound solution to worker protection. I consider it my moral obligation to help protect end-users from COVID-19, as well as helping to reduce the environmental impact caused by wide-scale use of disposable face masks.”


1TcA face masks and snoods are available immediately for procurement.
