Irwin Toy has been making children’s games for nearly a century. But things changed in March after CEO George Irwin and his wife, Brenda Elliott, contracted COVID-19 following a trip overseas.
“We looked at this and went, ‘Wow, because of what we’ve just been through, we need to figure out a way to get masks to the people that need it,” he said. The challenges made the Irwins realize just how important a reliable domestic stockpile of PPE is for Canada. It also got them thinking about how they could create a long-lasting solution.
Made of plastic, the PRO+ can be used for a month and cleaned with a wipe, in a dishwasher or an autoclave. Filters on either side of the mask are changed daily. Once finished, the company picks up the masks and recycles the plastic.
Hmm... for profit perhaps?
Who isn't making masks? From Moms to 3D biz it's the obvious choice?
Money?
We don't need more fast mask fashion! Enough with companies making there own to sell. I get that they needn't find a way to make business but, how much do they think they can really sell with so many other companies having their own before them? Just a thought...
... because they want to go bankrupt very soon.
