The RedStars bags and mouth masks are produced in China. The finishing stitching is currently also done in China. RedStars plans to move this work to Belgium. This in collaboration with Cellmade, who offer employment to detainees.
RedStars reusable masks are made of 100% polyester and have a water-repellent exterior. The inside is antibacterial and has a cooldown function. In between, you can place an N95 filter, making the mask as efficient as the FFP2 masks. With their innovative mouth masks, the brand won The Textirama Foundation Award in 2021, the prize for innovation in the textile world.
The RedStars mouth masks and bags are made of polyester. This means that microplastics are released during washing. These end up in the sea and are harmful to the environment and animals. At COSH! we recommend always washing synthetic materials with a Guppy Friend. This bag catches the small microplastics, so they do not end up in nature.
The RedStars bags are deliberately made from 100% recycled polyester. Millions of backpacks, travel and handbags end up in landfills every year. When these are made from different materials, the recycling process is expensive and the bags are often just burnt.
Because the RedStars bags are made of the same material, they are easy to recycle. Is your bag worn out after years of use or do you need a different colour? Bring your bag to one of the points of sale or through the website. RedStars will make sure your bag gets a sustainable destination.
Bags that are still in good condition are cleaned and sold in the second-hand circuit. The proceeds go to a social cause. Bags that are worn out are crushed and recycled into new yarn. In this way RedStars avoids the waste mountain to grow! Something we at COSH! Can only applaud.
Would you like a personalised mouth mask for your company? Starting from 500 pieces, RedStars can embroider your logo on the masks. Contact us at info@redstars.be for more information.
