Non-Medical Masks
At Backhausen, we became conscious of the need for non-medical face masks in early March 2020, after the Covid 19 pandemic hit our home country of Austria and other parts of the world. We wanted to do something significant for our community – something that would take advantage of our expertise and craftsmanship and would benefit other people and businesses without forgetting about the environment and our planet. We decided to adapt the production facilities at our factory in Hoheneich, in the heart of the Waldviertel, in order to develop a new fabric made of 100% cotton that is sustainable and durable for non-medical grade masks for an everyday use.
We have created a mask design that provides comfort, protection and is aesthetically pleasing. The double flap in our design allows the mask to be comfortably worn with glasses. The double bands allow the mask to be adjusted, adapted and fitted for wear.
For every sold mask, €1 will be donated to the Austrian charity Lebenshilfe. This organization supports over 11,000 people with intellectual disabilities at 500 locations throughout Austria. It enables people with disabilities to decide their own development opportunities in all phases and areas of life, to shape their lives independently, choose their support freely and take advantage of social offerings confidently and in line with their own needs. Find out more about this charity and what they do on their website.
