Recycled Natural Rubber

Did you know that rubber, whether it's the natural kind or synthetic version, doesn't biodegrade super easily? That's because it goes through a chemical process called vulcanization - because who wants a yoga mat that falls apart after a couple of uses! However, we work with an SGS-certified company who uses minimum chemicals, so that your mat is healthy to use and eventually biodegrades when you're done with your mat! Our cork mats are also made of 20% recycled natural rubber, helping less trees to be cut down in the process, making these mats even more sustainable!

Cork

Have you ever thought about what makes cork such a sustainability superstar? It's pretty amazing! Unlike many materials, cork doesn't come with a bunch of red flags. The way cork is harvested is, skilled workers carefully strip the bark from the cork oak trees using an axe, and it takes a ton of experience to do it right. The best part? The tree stays alive and healthy, regrowing enough cork to be harvested every nine years!

Hemp

Have you ever considered using hemp as a meditation carpet, or an outdoor yoga or pilates mat? It's such an eco-friendly option! Hemp actually requires way fewer pesticides than crops like cotton and needs minimal water to grow, which is pretty impressive. Plus, because of its naturally organic properties, there's lower risk of harmful chemicals making their way into your home.

Sustainability

At Crk, we truly believe in the health of our community and the planet, which is why we've put a lot of thought into finding products that do the least harm. Our goal is to make it easier for you to feel good about your choices! We really encourage everyone to do a little research and make informed decisions because what we buy has a big impact on our lives. Remember, what we put into the world is what we get back! 

We hope that during those busy times in life, Crk can be your go-to for products that nurture your mind, body, and soul. You’ll find a variety of healthy materials in our products, like Recycled Natural Rubber, Cork, Hemp, and Cotton. These materials are not only safe for everyday use, but they’re also sourced from nature, which helps keep pollutants at bay. We’re always on the lookout for ways to improve our product line, and one exciting step we’re planning is to introduce Organic Cotton for our yoga straps soon!

While we do use some plastics, like PU, we’ve intentionally kept those to a minimum. You can check the materials used in each product before you buy, so you know exactly what you’re getting. We’re really conscious of the plastic crisis and its impact on health. Did you know that thousands of yoga mats are bought every day, and most of them are made of plastic? That's why we are offering so many other alternatives and are constantly seeking to do more to help you make the best decisions.

You'll also be happy to know we're doing some great things behind the scenes. While many companies use plastic, we're wrapping new products in biodegradable Kraft paper. Small changes like this can really add up for the planet, so when you shop with us, you're helping to make a better world! You're also contributing to a reduced number of plastic yoga mats produced each year, and to more healthy and sustainable options. And when you get your products, you'll notice biodegradable Kraft boxes, minimal ink designs, and FSC-certified paper products. We're really proud of this eco-friendly approach!

Thank you for being part of our journey! Together, we can make a difference.
