Abstract The widespread use of disposable facemasks during the COVID‐19 pandemic has led to environmental concern due microplastic pollution. Biodegradable are a first step reducing impact pandemics. Here, high‐performance facemask components based on novel poly(ester amide)s (PEA) grades synthesized from biosourced materials and processed into nonwoven presented. PEA‐based polymers present an excellent compromise between mechanical performance biodegradability. Importantly, properties PEA can easily be tuned by changing ratio ester amide, or varying diol diacid parts. Seven which optimized for biodegradability processability. Among them, two combines 1) electrospinning process compatibility with 2) full degradation within 35 days, using normalized biodegradation test. ultra‐thin filters thus developed evaluated custom‐made characterization bench. achieve microparticle capture efficiency air permeability comparable commercial filters. Another grade is reach optimal viscothermal that made it compatible solvent‐free melt‐spinning as demonstrated continuous fiber production. Overall, this environmentally friendly solution paves way fabrication fibers next‐generation facemasks.
