Abstract:
The study is an experimental research design that focuses on fabricating a sustainable face mask made from banana pseudo-stem fibers. As the CoVid-19 is believed to be tiny enough to penetrate through face masks, therefore the aim of the product is to eliminate the virus that is piercing through gaps make from other types of masks. Nonetheless, the product will go through a process in which the purposive sampling method was used to select 5 different individuals who will participate on the interview about the banana pseudo-stem fiber as a sustainable face mask and the answers that the participants would provide will be then appraised and will look into by using the code and theme analysis. The results collected from the participants revealed the problems and issues being encountered when people are using face masks during the CoVid-19 pandemic are: (a) Skin irritations and (b) elastic bands snapping off. Furthermore, the factors that are being encountered in using a sustainable face mask are: (a) affordable in terms of acceptability in the market, (b)have the strongest fiber in terms of durability and, (c) is a good alternative to use during the pandemic in terms of efficiency. Delving deeper into the product and consulting professionals for the safety is highly recommended.
