The Impact
As the popularity of Yoga has increased so has the demand for yoga mats. Yoga is a spiritual practice & traditionally was practiced on woven mats which are made from various natural resources like coconut.
In the modern day yoga mats have become a natural disaster as they are made from all types of harmful chemical compounds like PVC which go into landfill and contribute to the devastation of mother nature. Imagine how this could be affecting your health whilst getting hot and sweaty on your yoga mat.
What is PVC?
PVC is a man made (Polyvinyl Chloride) oil based PLASTIC! Research into this plastic and its manufacturing found that PVC & the plasticisers used to soften the product are toxic and studies have linked these products with cancer, hormonal disruption & dioxin production. PVC is extremely difficult to dispose or recycle & usually requires incineration which releases toxins into the environment.
Whats on the market?
There are so many "ECO" YOGA mats on the market that are still filled with chemicals, like TPE, PVC & Plastic. These mats are not biodegradable & mass produced in sweat shops all over the world. For these reasons we have created the Live Whole Yoga mat & can stand proud knowing that our mats are made with 100% integrity & will last for many years before going back into the ground to feed mother earth.
What is Natural Tree Rubber?
Natural rubber comes from the rubber tree. Our tree rubber is harvested from live trees at plantations in Sri Lanka. The harvesting process is sustainable and the resource renewable. The end products are biodegradable and can be recycled and reused again and again. There is no toxic by-products from the manufacturing of natural rubber mats.
