****zoobop recommends using eco-friendly masks instead of single sheet masks.
There is not enough data on waste from single use sheet masks yet but numbers can be similar to that of single use make up wipes that are thrown away by the millions every day. These can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill.

Brand uses glass & PET bottles for most product packaging.
This is what the brand has to say," Living Nature’s acknowledges that some regional New Zealand recycling facilities are no longer accepting plastic grades 3 to 7.
In response to this, Living Nature is actively researching alternate packaging solutions".

We are unclear on the decompose time of their single use sheet masks - we have asked the brand for more clarity on this*.
