we recognise our responsibility to do our part and look after the planet. it is no longer enough to simply offset your CO2 emissions. we need to do more progressive work to contribute to the wellbeing of our planet. we want to involve our customers in our efforts too, so we have teamed up with Tree Nation to plant a tree for every mat we sell. our aim is to provide organic, high quality products to yogis while also contributing to vital reforestation.
OUR PRODUCTS
our mats are made from sustainably extracted natural rubber, which not only boasts fantastic benefits for your practice and your insides, but is kind to our planet too. when the time comes for you and your mat to part ways, simply dispose of it along with general waste, as it will biodegrade in landfill conditions in 2-5 years. this may seem like a long time, but comparing that to the almost 1000 years it takes for PVC mats to biodegrade, we think it's quite impressive.
WHY PLANT TREES?
some people don't fully understand the importance of trees. trees address some of the most threatening issues that we face today: pollution, species extinction, climate change, desertification, deforestation, floods, poverty, malnutrition and even deadly viruses. they are simply essential for our planet. we need to do more to slow down the rate of irreversible climate change.
