By prioritising durable, reusable solutions and building smarter single-use products, they’re helping reduce PPE waste across industries. For when disposables are essential, Moldex still designs with sustainability in mind. Their single-use respirators, like their [N95 P2 Airwave Disposable Respirator](https://www.atom.com.au/airwave-p2-particulate-respirator-with-adjustable-strap-s-10-pk?queryID=945e367609c44426dffb72210b3624b5&objectID=2155644&indexName=), contain up to **52% recycled materials** and include features like a Dura-Mesh® shell that resists collapsing in heat and humidity. This added durability helps extend product life and reduce unnecessary waste.   | ### Smarter Operations Start at the Source Moldex’s sustainability efforts aren’t just in the products; they're embedded across their operations.  Reducing plastic use and waste at the source, Moldex's manufacturing process has been completely PVC-free since 2008. Every Moldex product since then has been produced without PVC or plasticisers, supporting more sustainable material use from the beginning. | ![Picture9](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Picture9.png?width=144&height=121&name=Picture9.png) | | --- | --- | ### Long-Lasting Comfort with Less Waste Moldex designs every product with the environment in mind.
