Umiko Face mask
Client
Designed with PDR Design
Description
Using a material made from sustainable marine algae, Umiko is a protective facemask. Within seven days of disposal, this substance completely degrades in water with no lingering effects. This sustainably sourced material is woven into flat sheets and die-stamped to create a high-volume, inexpensive option for everyday mask use.
Similar to N95 masks in terms of filtration and breathability, the mask is intended to be light and comfortable. It can be easily and rapidly adjusted to fit a user's face. The material's inherent malleability allows for adjustments over the nasal bridge and face; it is also adjustable around the ears to provide a snug fit.
