The eko® mat is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably harvested tree rubber. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the eko® are non-toxic. What this means is that no toxic chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process to soften the rubber. Additionally, instead of using synthetic polyester for reinforcement, we have chosen to use a blend of polyester and natural cotton. According to both customer feedback and published yoga mat reviews, the eko® mat is a high performance mat that is also good for the environment.
Manduka
Since the beginnings of the Black Mat, Manduka has been inspired and guided by a responsibility to reduce global consumption by making better products that last longer.
Their design approach is rooted in principles of conservancy and transparency, creating mats, towels, props and apparel while also making every possible effort to minimize environmental waste. They’re constantly searching for innovative partners and updated technologies to further respect the land upon which we place our mats and our intentions.
As a company, they understand the impossibility of leaving no environmental footprint. But what they do commit to is 100% transparency, being clear about the decisions they make and, most importantly, where they have room to improve.
Manduka consistently strive to be better, stronger, kinder and more conscious of their actions and their global impact.
Sustainability isn’t simply a story. It’s part of Manduka’s DNA and part of their evolving practice.
