Sustainable Fashion Brand Innovates Anti-Bacterial Masks for Safer Retail and Work Experience

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2020 / Haus of Z, a sustainable fashion brand headquartered in San Francisco, today announced that it has begun producing innovative, anti-bacterial masks that provide companies with uniform, safe, and sustainable facial coverings. Haus of Z masks use Dupont's SILVADUR™ technology to maximize antibacterial coverage and help address the spread of viruses, including H1N1 and COVID-19.

While traditional fabric masks can reduce spread of the disease, research has shown that antibacterial cotton masks that use SILVADUR™ technology can dramatically reduce virus transmission. The SILVADUR™ technology enables silver ions to be evenly distributed in fabric using a water-soluble polymer that provides additional coverage from airborne particles. After 50 times of washing, the antibacterial protection remains 99% effective.

Haus of Z cofounder Zak Batstone underscores how important it is for Z's mission to help companies provide a better product. "How often do you walk into a store and see employees wearing disposable masks, or alternatively observe situations where employees are using a personal mask with questionable quality?" asks Batstone. "We are excited about being able to provide companies and employees an option for high-quality, custom branded masks that can not only be a part of an attractive uniform but can increase consumer confidence and protection." Batstone adds.

Haus of Z is partnering with the international non-profit Not For Sale to align with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. The patented SILVADUR™ silver ion technology makes Z masks far superior to the disposable masks that dominate the mask market today. The masks help fight the pandemic while reducing waste and supporting environmentally conscious supply chains. With each order of Z masks, Not For Sale delivers masks to at-risk communities that cannot afford the costs of PPE (personal protective equipment).

Douglas Campbell, the executive director of Hope Clinic in southeast Michigan, uses Haus of Z masks for all his employees. "Our staff love the look and feel of the masks, and they pass on the confidence in their own safety to the clients who come to our clinics for free medical and dental care."

Haus of Z was founded with a seed investment from Just Business in 2016 with a goal to support sustainable and ethical supply chains in the fashion industry. Just Business is a social impact investment firm committed to building profitable companies that positively impact the planet, and is the key force behind Not For Sale, a global NGO focused on human and environmental exploitation.
