Ethics, Sustainability & Environment

ENVIRONMENT AND ETHICS

Our box packaging and mailer bags are 100% recyclable. Our mailer bags also meet rigorous FSC social and environmental standards, made from certified materials which contribute to taking care of the world’s forests. All of the glue used in our packaging is made from cornstarch, making it biodegradable and renewable.

REUSABLE PARTS

Our mask skins, stainless steel valves, and silicone components are all reusable, meaning they don’t get added to the trash after use. Our replaceable filters have a longer lifespan (~28 days) than traditional filters (~1-2 days), leaving a lighter footprint on the environment.

ETHICAL SUPPLY CHAIN

We began our company in 2017, and since then we have developed great relationships with our trusted suppliers. Extensive third party testing is conducted on all functional components, with all of our suppliers subject to independent quality control and regular auditing requirements. This ensures our stringent ethics and quality standards are adhered to. Our filters and anti-microbial carry bags have been tested by world leading FDA medtech labs, meeting ISO and STS standards.
