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.
