New prototype face mask using Canadian wood pulp to support COVID-19 response




OTTAWA, August 3, 2020-

As we begin to reopen the economy and plan our recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, the Government of Canada is committed to building a clean energy future and supporting the natural resource sectors. Canada's forest sector, a source of great economic benefit for our country, continues to implement innovative practices and technologies to keep the sector growing, while contributing to Canada's response to the pandemic.

Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Seamus O'Regan, today announced $300,000 for a COVID-19 response project by Pulp Moulded Products Incorporated (PMP) — a company based in Newmarket, Ontario, which focuses on products made from Canadian pulp. Additional support for the project is being provided by Kruger Incorporated.
