Sustainable Mask Material Selection with Ansys Granta Selector
Airinum used Ansys Granta Selector to identify suitable textile and filter materials for face masks while balancing comfort, filtration performance, appearance and environmental impact. The company required a scientific approach to material selection that complemented the expertise of its manufacturing and materials partners.
Using the Eco Audit functionality within Ansys Granta Selector, engineers assessed the environmental impact of mask products throughout their lifecycle and evaluated potential design improvements. The software helped identify new materials, analyse recycling scenarios for used filters and reduce environmental impact while maintaining product performance.
