Company details

  1. Medical Equipment Manufacturer

Written by the company

More than 90% of the world’s population breathes air with levels of pollutants that exceed limits set by the World Health Organisation. Despite this fundamental human need for clean air, the face mask industry has failed to deliver an adequate solution. We are forced to trade-off between filtration efficiency, comfort and style, whilst a genuinely sustainable choice is completely lacking. This insight led to the creation of Masuku more than four years ago. The vast majority of face masks currently used cannot be recycled - many end up being incinerated, which further worsens the air quality crisis. Furthermore, increasing numbers are littered, washing up on beaches and polluting natural environments where they will persist for an estimated 450 years. Masuku’s vision is to provide clean air without compromising on comfort, style, or sustainability - to provide powerful filtration performance, whilst protecting the planet. This led Masuku to partner with Pentatonic, a design and technology company that specialises in what is known as the circular economy, to develop groundbreaking manufacturing technologies that will power the world’s most advanced face mask, Masuku One. The core of Masuku’s unique technology is a new kind of nano-fibre filtration material created from an engineered compostable polymer, using a newly developed electrospinning process. Compared with meltblown fibres, which are used to make the majority of face masks currently available, the electrospinning process is able to create a structured membrane consisting of extremely fine nano-fibres (up to 1,000 times narrower than a human hair) dispersed with extreme precision for maximum efficiency. Masuku’s revolutionary nano-fibre filtration material is being produced on site at the company’s AirLab in Hellaby, Rotherham. Assembly of Masuku One and production of Masuku Daily products will also take place in the north of England. A centre of excellence for sustainable filtration technology, the facility is responsible for producing Masuku’s proprietary nanofiber filtration fabric and assembling face masks under highly controlled conditions. In addition to this a substantial investment has been committed to ongoing research and development, Masuku will partner with globally renowned institutions and organisations to develop future generations of high-tech sustainable filtration devices. Taking its name from the Japanese for ‘mask’, a culture where masks are taken as a sign of care and respect for the community’s health, it has been Masuku’s mission since day one to create a fully sustainable product. That’s why Masuku face masks are made using recycled materials that can be re-recycled when it’s time to dispose of them. What’s more, the replaceable filters are bio-based, allowing for easy, environmentally-friendly disposal. Welcome to the future of clean air.

My order was substantially delayed through no fault of Masuku. I wrote customer service with my frustration about the delay and without my asking, Masuku sent me a generous supply of additional masks and accessories in order to improve my customer experience. Good people, doing their best. Love the masks!

I really like the mask

I really like the mask. It is the most comfortable one I've used so far. My glasses have never fogged up with it.
I've also slept comfortably in it on a trans-Atlantic flight.

AVOID!! Website taken down, company must have gone bust. Cannot buy filters!!!!!!!!!

Masuku One face masks come with 4 filters. The filter needs to be changed every 3 days. You cannot buy filters online any longer as Masuku have gone bust. Their website no longer works and the filters cannot be bought anywhere else. DO NOT BUY. Complete waste of money, and unethical company selling a product that you cannot use after 12 days of use when you have no spare filters left!!!!

Love Stitch design 💕

This coin purse is fantastic. I love the Stitch design, I wish that the lanyard would clip on both sides of the purse. I keep it in my car so I have this cheeky caricature with me in the car.

Second half (negative) of my review was not published. Are there censorship in place?
Overall, I'm not happy with the mask, after very short time of wearing it the humid is formed on the inside of the orange carcase. The humid is surely the source of bacteries outbreak. Every time I'm wearing it I have a stuffy nose.

Love my Masuku mask!

I love my Masuku mesh masks. So glad I bought 2 of them- a black one and an orange one. Since I’m a teacher, I wear my mask every day all day and being able to alternate colors made me happy.
I read about this mask in the Chicago Tribune and even though it is somewhat pricey, I’ve felt comfortable and safe for nearly a year now. I am asked daily by people who manufactures this attractive well made fabulous looking mask and where to get one.
Above all is the customer care department and their communication with clients as swift and helpful. They go above and beyond to be sure they have happy customers and a safe clean environment. Their slogan is We Love Air!

Entire family found these too uncomfortable to actually wear!

I hate to leave a one star review. But the masks were so expensive and we aren't wearing them. I ordered 4, one for each family member. My kids won't wear them, because they are so uncomfortable. They wore them one full day at school and they said the masks made them sweat and were generally so uncomfortable. I wore mine for twenty minutes and had deep marks on my face. Even after adjusting the straps, it just doesn't fit well. The biggest size didn't fit my husband well either. I honor their "no-returns" policy so I never contacted the company. But I thought it best to share my experience with other potential customers. It was a risk spending this much on a mask and it just wasn't worth it. Hundreds of dollars later and we are sticking with our old masks. I would advise any potential buyer to think twice before purchasing these masks.

Good idea but not cost effective.

I have the medium smooth mask and is comfortable to wear. The first issue I found is that I seem very fin strands from the filter can be drawn through the plastic cage. These fibres may irritate around the end of the nose. Also I have found the outer cover to be very fragile around the area where it folds over the plastic cage and tears easily when removing/ replacing filter. A new outer cover is £25 which is half the cost of a complete mask, I can see that there’s not a lot of incentive to make the outer cover more durable. The mask may be great that it’s all replaceable but at what cost? If the intention is to retain customers longer term then it dies need to be more cost effective. Right now I’m going back to my Love Air mask, pity had the makings of a good system.

Perfect everyday mask

I read about Masuku One in The Financial Times. I ticked all the boxes: sustainable, modular and fit my face perfectly. I've had it for a few months now and it's my favourite face mask. Mask and filters might appear pricey, but it works out cheaper than constantly buying single use masks.
