The muzzle is made from the hemp plant and can be composted
The protective mask for the Coronavirus, produced by a French company, is made from hemp seedlings and is biodegradable and compostable."Hemp has properties that prevent the addition of other products" to the muzzle, such as glue or adhesives, said Stephanie Jouvenet, director of the "Geoshanfer" plant in Lysen (Yunne County).
She explained to Agence France-Presse that "their properties allow purification and ventilation without the use of any additional materials."
This startup specializing in sustainable development and manufacturing plant felt developed the idea of producing this muzzle from the hemp plant last spring, noting that the hemp plant that produces its flowers contains weeds, and its fibers are widely used in the manufacture of clothing and felts.
The French authorities have verified that the muzzle meets the required standards, and have already stated that the percentage of outdoor air filtration is 89 percent.
The muzzle has sold 1.4 million pieces. "The company manufactures" five thousand masks a day, "said the commercial director of" Geoshanver "Gerald Payet.
He explained that it is "the only compostable mask in France and Europe," noting that there are "clients from Belgium, Switzerland and Italy."
