The carbon neutral face mask is an environmentally conscious way to look at ppe and other protective equipment. It is a self-cleaning, reusable and effective face mask.

The purpose of this project is to find ways to manufacture equipment, specifically masks, for people to protect themselves from different biological hazards without also damaging the planet. The mask is constructed with a central "active layer" surrounded by two layers of bio-plastic on either side  which have been coated with a salt compound that will kill viruses on contact. The active layer is likely to contain alcohol and a bacteria that will attempt to destroy left-over traces of the pathogen. This mask is intended to be used by both medical professionals and the general public.
