SAFEMASK ARCHITECT™ DISPOSABLE PROCEDURE MASK (ASTM level 3)
First Medicom mask to undergo a life cycle assessment
- Compliant with ISO 14044 standard
Manufactured in Quebec
- Raw materials from Mexico, the United States, China and France
Potential environmental impacts reduced by 15% to 17%
- Compared to its counterpart made in China
- In terms of carbon footprint, human health, and ecosystem quality
311 metric tons of CO2 avoided in 2021
- Compared to its counterpart made in China
- Like removing about 70 gasoline-powered cars from the road for an entire year
72% to 94% of these emission from the production of raw materials
- This stage is the most significant contributor to impacts
SAFEMASK ARCHITECT PRO™ DISPOSABLE N95 RESPIRATOR (Medical Device Class 1)
First Medicom N95 respirator to undergo a life cycle assessment
- Compliant with ISO 14044 standard
Manufactured in Quebec
- Raw materials from Germany and France
Potential environmental impacts reduced by 11% to 47%
- Compared to its counterpart made in China
- In terms of carbon footprint, human health, and ecosystem quality
273 metric tons of CO2 avoided in 2021
- Compared to its counterpart made in China
- Like removing about 60 gasoline-powered cars from the road for an entire year
32% to 96% of these emissions from the production of raw materials
- This stage is the most significant contributor to impacts
MADE IN QUEBEC
Lower potential impacts than their counterparts made in China.
Filters made of polypropylene produced in Quebec would allow for an additional reduction of 3 to 9% in the potential impact of Medicom’s procedure masks.
Quebec is the region that could produce polypropylene melt blown (MBPP) and polypropylene spunbound (SBPP) with the lowest impact, among the evaluated supply regions.
