Shared Earth Face Mask - Assorted Colours

Please note - we received a variety of colours  from red to blue - each one different. If you would prefer a certain colour please add a note and we will do our best or contact you to give you a choice of shades. 

Shared Earth is delighted to be able to offer this timely initiative of WFTO-Asia, the PeoplesMask.


It's a washable, re-usable face covering made of cotton, designed for non-medical front-liners: shop staff, drivers, government, community and social workers, refuse collectors, charity workers and so on. The PeoplesMask is based on the HK Mask design, a joint venture between Dr K Kwong and local filtration and engineering companies in Hong Kong. It allows a disposable filter or tissue to fit inside a pocket of a re-usable face covering; recent laboratory tests have shown this increases the efficiency of the face covering to between 83% and 91%, depending on the thickness of the tissue inserted.

This is an assortment of colours so we cannot guarantee a shade. 

This initiative also aims to provide work for some of the thousands of artisans in Asia who have lost their jobs because of the lockdowns in their countries. It is a small step made by the global Fair Trade community in the fight against Covid-19. We are buying the PeoplesMask from a WFTO member in Sri Lanka. The production process follows guaranteed Fair Trade standards and the factory has been cleared by the local authorities for compliance under Covid-19 preventative measures.


Please note this is a non-returnable item unless faulty.
