I’m currently working on productionizing some copper products in a manufacture engineering / product management role. Reuseable grocery bags and gloves. The gloves idea is my friend Ben WR’s. I think the grocery bags will work fine because it’s a sewn product and we found some 99.5% copper mesh, but the gloves project is more risky because the copper yarn is 30% copper but 70% polyester and may not retain the same antimicrobial properties. So we will have to find some way to test it.
Overall I think it would be nice to have a better barrier between things that may be contaminated outside your home and cleanliness inside your home. Copper isn’t perfect but at least after 4 hours you can be sure it doesn’t have any coronavirus on it. If the products sell well, I’ll see if I can find a way to add UV disinfecting light to the inside of the bag.
I know the CDC said that surface transmission is unlikely but … i don’t really buy it.
