Swiss Startup Making Transparent Surgical Masks Gets $1 Million Seed Funding

Jun. 10, 2020

The HelloMasks are disposable, just like regular surgical masks. That being the case, the researchers made it a point to find a material that was either recyclable or biodegradable. According to the post, the material used in the HelloMasks is 99% biomass-derivative. According to Thierry Pelet, the CEO of HMCARE,“Our material is made at 99% from a biomass derivative. And we’ll keep working on them until they’re completely eco-friendly”. You can learn more about HelloMasks on theofficial EPFL website.
