Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, eCommerce and online shopping have been on the rise and is expected to grow by 18% by the end of 2020. As stores have been forced to close due to economic conditions and social distancing orders have been put into place, more consumers are making their purchases online.
Along with the health threats of COVID-19 came a host of unpleasant impacts to daily life, such as shortages. Retailers were unable to keep up with the demand for staples like toilet paper, paper towels, etc..
AptarGroup Inc. is seeking U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization for a solution that allows easy disinfecting of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (N95 masks). These masks are desperately needed by healthcare personnel due to the shortage of disposable masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
