Wearing a face mask is now compulsory but how do you store your mask when not in use? Do you put it inside your bag or keep it inside the pocket? Either way, it is unhygienic. Bacteria cells can be doubled every 4 to 20 minutes.
Can you imagine, putting the same face mask back on? Ewww...
We introduce to you KAZE. We aim to provide a sanitary solution to store your face mask.
KAZE is a sleek and portable casing to store face masks. It has an added feature of 6+ UVC LED lights to counteract bacterial growth.
KAZE'S KEY FEATURES
KAZE also includes a detachable strap, OLED screen, 3 disinfecting cycle switches, and it is thin and lightweight.
KAZE has developed the most powerful latest generation LEDs with a wave range of 270nm. It is proven to effectively kill 99.9% of bacteria. KAZE has also designed a wave-like interior to promote even distribution of the UV-C light across the surface of the face mask, ensuring your face mask is bacteria-free.
KAZE has 3 disinfecting cycles switches. Swift cleaning sanitizes face mask for 5 minutes, moderate cleaning sanitizes face mask for 10 minutes and lastly, deep cleaning sanitizes face mask for 15 minutes. It allows users to select the duration of the disinfecting cycle depending on how fast they need the face mask to be ready for use.
The added feature of the OLED screen helps users to be notified when the mask is ready for use. The OLED screen displays battery life and a timer counting down the disinfecting cycle.
Not only KAZE is sleek and lightweight, but it also includes a detachable strap for you to bring KAZE on the go.
KAZE'S BENEFITS
Based on an interview, I have discovered that most interviewees do not have a proper storage for face mask and thinks that it is unhygienic to reuse face mask that is unsanitize.
2 out 5 interviewees lead an active lifestyle and often jogs. They shared that they often hang their face masks on their arms and reuse the face masks.
Now you can wear a clean face mask after a jog. With Kaze lightweight casing and the added detachable strap, you can bring it for any outdoor sports activities even for a quick errand to the grocery.
Do you know in one second 49,800 masks would be used and disposed of globally?
In Singapore, five to six pieces of masks have been found at local parks, beaches and waterways during each clean-up organised by environmental volunteer groups.

Unfortunately, single-use masks contribute to environmental pollution. We hoped that KAZE can also empower individuals to make an environmentally friendly choice by storing face masks in a sanitary manner instead.
