collects and processes face masks, in addition to other traditionally nonrecyclable single-use plastic products, via subscription-only No Waste Boxes.
"We anticipate that for a year, users can disinfect the masks after use with an alcohol wipe or standard hospital cleaner, and then swap out the filter after their shifts," CEO Tony Casciano explains.

He also would not disclose the projected market price of the masks, saying only that Teal Bio's product would deliver"significant savings on a per-user basis over the course of a year.
