Carnivore Meat Company answers call for masks amid COVID-19 pandemic
In response to the alarming shortage of masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) nationwide, Carnivore Meat Company has donated the use of its ultraviolet (UV) sterilization machine to sanitize and disinfect much needed personal protective equipment (PPE) for front-line medical and public service workers throughout Northeast Wisconsin.
Using this process, a single mask may be sterilized up to five times through the UV machine and full utilization of the machine’s capacity could yield up to 1.4 million clean masks per week. The sterilization machine also lessens the need for new masks and could potentially result in cost savings of $2 million per week.
