Toronto, Ontario – November 5th, 2025 – JY Care, a Toronto-based manufacturer of medical-grade PPE, has unveiled its biodegradable medical face mask—engineered for Canadian healthcare and public safety professionals who demand both protection and responsibility.
Unlike conventional polypropylene masks, the JY Care biodegradable mask uses a proprietary additive that accelerates degradation in landfill conditions while maintaining ASTM Level 1, 2, and 3 filtration efficiency. The mask is latex-free, dye-free, and made entirely in Canada.
A Made‑in‑Canada Response to a Global Problem
When billions of disposable masks became waste during the pandemic, JY Care saw the impact firsthand. The company committed to building a local, evidence‑based solution—producing PPE close to its customers with traceable quality and verifiable data.
“Our biodegradable medical mask offers a credible way to reduce the environmental footprint of single‑use PPE without compromising safety,” said Joey Feng, CEO of JY Care. “We believe trust starts with transparency—every claim we make is backed by data.”
Independently Verified Transparency
The biodegradable mask was independently tested and previously verified through Intertek’s Green Leaf program, confirming that its biodegradation and materials claims were third‑party assessed. Updated test data and procurement summaries are available upon request.
Why It Matters
Canada has more than 10,000 landfills that generate about 30 million tonnes of CO₂‑equivalent methane annually, and at the height of the pandemic, global mask use peaked at nearly 129 billion per month. JY Care’s additive‑based approach helps reduce long‑term plastic persistence while acknowledging that responsible waste management remains essential.
Built on Trust, Made in Canada
Since 2019, JY Care has operated domestically in accordance with ISO 13485‑aligned standards, maintaining traceable production and quality systems that match paperwork to every shipment. This discipline ensures reliability, speed, and regulatory alignment—a Canadian advantage in global PPE supply.
