These face masks protecting against COVID-19 are biodegradable and locally-sourced
A team of researchers in the BioProducts Institute at the University of British Columbia has developed biodegradable COVID-19 mask prototypes, made from locally sourced wood fibers and pulp.

That’s why it is important now to test more robust and flexible supply chains that assure the masks are protective and compostable at the same time.
