At The Mat Collective we focus on every step of our yoga mats journey. From the biodegradable materials, planet friendly inks and our manufacturing processes, we’re committed to being socially and environmentally conscious. We support sustainable techniques and processes to better our Mother earth.
The yoga mat top surface is made from recycled plastic that feels suedelike. It is then heat pressed to the base, eliminating the need for toxic glues or chemicals. The base is made from natural tree rubber and is 100% non-toxic. The tree rubber is gently extracted from the rubber tree in a process just like a maple tree might be tapped. The tree is not stressed or killed in the process making this an incredible sustainable process.
We take pride in ensuring our yoga mats are packaged in simple cardboard boxes with no films or lining for easy recycling and avoid using plastics where possible. Even out tape to seal the boxes is made from natural wood fibres with rubber adhesive.
We are on the last roll of tape that was gifted to us for all our fragile packages. We figured it would be a waste to discard of the tape without giving it any life but will switch over to our preferred option as soon as it is used up.
