Face masks made of smart Eco fibres for comfort and style.

The latest must-have fashion accessory is no longer the “It” bag or the latest designer trainer.
It’s the face mask which we are now required to wear in most public places in order to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus.

So why not look good and feel free and safe when wearing one that is made totally from a silk-like Cupro, the name commonly used for fibres by Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei. 

The new PNLP (Penelope) face mask is made in an eco and sustainable material that comes from the smart-tech transformation of cotton linter pre-consumer materials and converted through a traceable and transparent closed loop process.

Now these masks are ready to hit the market with their unique features that combine sustainability with a lovely fabric that is soft and smooth as silk and feels like a second skin.
Made in Italy, the Cupro’s Collection is also biodegradable and available online, in adult as well as child sizes.

Other textiles companies who have joined in and converted their production units to making masks as well as medical gowns include Cifra, Illuna Group, Rosti and Sitip, who have collaborated with ROICA™, the premium stretch fibre by Asahi Kasei. ROICA™ is the innovative and smart premium ingredient chosen by these companies to give comfort to the wearer, thanks to an exceptional top-level component that gives elasticity for perfect adherence to the skin.

Cifra presents the eco-sustainable version of the mask, the ECO-MASK™, which combines the high performance of Cifra's knitting technology with the sustainability of the materials used. The 100% regenerated yarns create a 100% sustainable mask with 83% ECONYL and 17% ROICA™ V550 elastomer, the stretch fiber certified with Cradle to Cradle Gold Health Level which allows excellent and lasting printability, as well as advantages regarding the circular economy as it does not release harmful substances into the test environment according to the Hohenstein Environmental Compatibility certification.
