What Goes Into Our Mats

Life gets busy, and Crk is here to give you gear you can actually feel good about using. We make our mats mostly from natural materials like SGS-certified natural rubber, raw cork, hemp, and cotton, and we use recycled materials whenever we can.

Many of our mats are 100% plant-based, but a few styles use a small amount of PU or polyester for durability and design—and everything is thoroughly tested to make sure it's safe. Even our packaging is FSC-certified, biodegradable, or printed with food-safe inks, keeping things clean for you and easy on the planet.

Recycled Natural Rubber - SGS Certification

Did you know that neither synthetic rubber, or natural rubber biodegrades super easily? That's because rubber goes through a chemical process called vulcanization, making it durable! Look for SGS-certified rubbers that limit the number of chemicals to the safest amounts needed for your yoga mat to enhance biodegradability. Our mats have this certification and up to 20% recycled natural rubber content.

Organic Cork - a sustainable choice

Have you ever thought about what makes cork such a sustainable choice? Cork is carefully harvest by stripping the bark from the cork oak trees using an axe and the same trees can be harvested every nine years! There is more limited cork production, making it a less harmful cash crop than natural rubber, and cork is a naturally organic and antimicrobial material!

Organic Hemp - Minimal water needed to grow

Have you ever considered using a hemp yoga mat? Not only does it have excellent performance on outdoor surfaces like grass and sand - it's such an eco-friendly option! Hemp requires fewer pesticides and less water to grow, making it naturally organic and sustainable. It's also very durable and has naturally antimicrobial properties.
