About Us
Under the challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic we have shifted our priority to providing existing infection control and PPE equipment for healthcare professionals. Through reputable ties direct to manufacturers, we cut out the agents in between and deal directly to provide certified, affordably priced face masks, nitrile gloves, gowns, KN95 masks etc to our customers fast. We have been fulfilling multiple contracts across Corporates, Government, the NHS, and NGO's.
However, our sustainability goal still stands - we will continue to develop our own eco-friendly PPE product and material range, which we now hope to release at a later date.
Clear-Panel Lip Reading Masks
We value accessibility - whether this be from a design, price or experience viewpoint. Therefore, as soon as we were distributing masks, we identified that a significant number of the population relies heavily, if not solely on lip-reading.
The environmentally-conscious and affordable solution to medical PPE and hygiene products.
EcoTextura is revolutionising the PPE and hygiene industry.
We develop and produce our proprietary, forward-thinking and sustainable medical personal protective equipment (PPE) and sustainable nonwoven fabrics, whilst using our vast network of trusted OEMs to supply high-quality, existing PPE products.
This includes masks, hair caps, gowns, shoe covers, wash gloves, nitrile gloves etc. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from the current, linear model of medical accessories - we produce, we dispose, we repeat; depleting our resources and harming the environment ...to a more sustainable model. We aim to produce efficiently, using minimal amounts of raw materials, water and energy, and consider the circular economy at the heart of our design.
A growing number of the people we helped with our Covid Mask Initiative (see details below), were requesting clear panel masks. Immediately, we began sewing masks with a clear PVC panel for carers, those with leaning difficulties, the deaf and hard of hearing etc. Here came our decision and commitment to invest into inclusive, clear-panel masks - both reusable (for civilian use) and medical to offer alongside regular masks. Throughout our development process, we worked closely with deaf societies and communities, as well as NHS Equality heads for their feedback.
Since then, EcoTextura has had its proprietary design new disposable Type IIR Clear-Panel Masks developed, tested and approved - and has sold to the NHS, private UK hospitals and medical centres, schools, universities, local councils, care homes, charities and NGOs across the UK and Europe.
We are committed to finding ways to help our local communities. Over the past year, alongside day-to-day business and developing new PPE products, we have built a team to produce and distribute FREE clean, home-made reusable 3-ply cotton/poly-cotton face masks for carers, the elderly, and vulnerable people in our local area (Milton Keynes/Bucks) - see news coverage here. We hope that this reduces the considerable strain on the over-burdened NHS supply, whilst we continue to source certified PPE for frontline workers.
Our Covid-19 Response
We successfully made and donated over
1300+
reusable face masks!
How we did it...
We had been doing our research on reusable masks for years now and knew that the use of 3-layer reusable cotton face coverings to be worn by civilians, significantly helps to stop the spread of airborne diseases. Immediately, we started our Covid Mask Initiative and began to source materials and local help to make reusable masks, and deliver it to those who need it most. All donations went towards buying mask-making materials and supporting the small, local businesses who supply us.
Our donated face-coverings have been used by local* medical centres, care-homes, the vulnerable, elderly and carers. We are incredibly thankful to all the local tailors/seamstresses, delivery drivers and those who donated funds and fabric to us these past months - Your selfless actions have helped hundreds.
