背景：

Ever since the pandemic, one-time disposable masks have been widely used by the general population. Earlier on in the pandemic, other than just acting as a simple barrier, people wanted masks with stronger protection, therefore purchasing masks such as the N95. As these masks are designed for medical purposes, they could be quite tightly fit and could be less breathable. As the severity of the pandemic is dying down, people have preferred using masks with VFE or BFE capabilities instead, to allow better respiratory ventilation while keeping viruses and bacteria from filtrating through the mask. This means that these surgical masks are normally more loosely fit.

There are a few underlying issues because of this. Firstly, being that one-time disposable masks are extremely harmful to the environment, with people switching 1-2 masks every single day, filing up landfills and increasing carbon emissions at a rapid rate. These one-time disposables are not optimal for protecting people from getting sick either. Even though these masks are designed to shield viruses and bacteria from entering a person’s respiratory system or skin, people forget that these microbes still remain on the surface of the mask, and every time someone touches their own mask, their hands become insanitary. Moreover, with looser fitted masks, viruses or bacteria could easily penetrate the sides of it. On the other hand, tightly fitted masks could be uncomfortable and unbreathable for people as well. Finally, surgical masks are not created for fashion purposes, but as masks are becoming a necessity in our lives, people are more likely to choose a mask colour that compliments their outfit.

To solve these issues, INNOTIER’s masks have been designed to cover all these problems by incorporating our company’s three pillars “Hygiene Technology X Sustainability X Fashionable Lifestyle”. We aim to combine the three most important factors in the new normal and create a series of products that can completely eradicate the issues of hygiene, sustainability, comfort and style, providing a permanent solution for everyone.

目標： 

As a global mindset purpose-driven company, truly promote human-centric new necessity solutions combining 3 pillars(Sustainability x Best Hygiene Technologies x Fashionable Lifestyle) as core mission, to build impact and business with purpose. Engage the global community to make sustainable development more sustainable.

The main differentiating factor between our masks and every other mask on the market in the world is our technology. In the market, there are a variety of masks with features of high breathability, a high virus or bacteria filtration rate, or some even having anti-bacterial features.

However, by investing tremendous amounts of time and resources, INNOTIER has patented its silver-yarn Ionic+ fabric, while obtaining 11 other certificates for our mask – the InnoShield. Other than fulfilling the needs of comfort, anti-odour, UPF50+ and breathability, the InnoShield’s most prominent features lie in its anti-viral technology. Most self-disinfecting masks are able to eliminate bacteria or virus in 24 hours, but by being able to inhibit and eliminate the coronavirus (in particular SARS-COV-2) upon its contact (less than one second) with our mask’s surface, we have already surpassed every other self-cleaning mask. Additionally, with the mask being able to endure at least 200 industrial washes and it is not required to wash everyday. Assuming to wash it in every 7 days, meaning that one mask could last for around 4 years of wearing, we are confident to say that this is one of, if not the world’s most advanced hygienic lifestyle technology.

• The flow from R&D to launch it into market.

• Research on the use of materials and design.

• Source the silver yarn – with the 20 years connection of US Ionic+ silver yarn partner

• Weave in the 99% pure silver yarn into fabric.

Make prototype.

• Test the antiviral efficiency (before and after 200 washes), breathability of the prototype mask at reputable testing laboratory.

• Fitting test on the comfortability on different faces.

• Test and trial the procedure (4) - (7) to achieve the antiviral efficiency, breathability & comfortability   .

• To innovate and drive technological advancements with Human Centric Driven philosophy, keep improve the every single details of the mask.

  
  

•  Obtain 11 proven test reports and recognized by international reputable laboratory from all over the world such as China and US.

•  Choose the sustainable and recyclable materials as our packaging in order to reduce the waste into the planet.

• With the unique "Business with Purpose" vertical setup and our 100% own factory, INNOTIER provides 100% brand promises, best quality and speedy products carrying ESG and sustainability.

  
  

Economics angel:

Our INNOSHIELD Champion Series reusable mask costs average around HK$400 per pieces.Minimum 200 industrial washes tested by international reputable laboratory. However, due to the self-cleaning and germ-resistant surface of our mask, it is not required to wash it everyday unless any physical dirt, such as tomato sauce or foundation etc. Assuming to wash it in every 7 days, meaning that one mask could use for 1,400 times. The average cost will be HK$0.29/time. Comparing with one-time disposable mask, the cost is ranging from HK$1.5 to HK$5+ per pieces. Our mask is definitely more economical.

ESG angel:

INNOSHIELD mask provides an effective and sustainable solution to the growing environmental impact of one-time disposable masks. By replacing disposable masks, INNOSHIELD masks can help to cut carbon emissions by 91.37%* and reduce landfill waste.
