9 Sustainable Mask Brands You Gotta Have on Your Radar

Phone, keys, wallet, face mask—this is our new normal. But while donning a protective face covering is definitely the responsible choice, we shouldn't let adhering to CDC guidelines stop us from being eco-conscious, too. Loads of discarded face-masks and gloves are piling up on beaches, and this threat is fast becoming a major environmental concern. So what are we to do? Enter: sustainable face mask brands.
