Description

Organic cotton is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which ensures complete transparency from farm to finished product. Third-party certification by GOTS also includes social criteria, ensuring people are protected, and children are kept out of the workplace. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is another type of plastic that typically contains formaldehyde. I'd avoid this one as well.

The Roots mat offers a good balance between comfort and stability as it is firm but forgiving on the joints. All their materials come from certified places, which means they are ethically sourced and collected with only the highest standards. They also carry a Fair Trade certification which ensures that employees are paid a fair living wage and work in safe and controlled environments that regulate labor laws. Portability: An option with great get-up-and-go credentials makes an ideal yoga companion if you’re a fan of alfresco sessions. Look for thinner mats that roll up easily and have a carry strap if you prefer Pilates in the park.All in all, it’s good to be suspicious of ‘greenwashed’ products that incorporate recycled synthetic rubber or other materials. You might, however, make an exception if a manufacturer provides third-party test results and robust certifications for the final product. The most eco-friendly, sustainably-made, non-toxic yoga mats Brentwood Home’s Dunlop latex is FSC® certified and comes from sustainably managed rubber tree plantations. The organic cotton is also certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard, meaning it’s grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers that harm the environment and human health.

As you’ll see below, Prolana’s mats, Brentwood Home’s mats, and Green Earth’s yoga mats carry with them a ton of certifications, including from Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), GOTS, Fair Rubber, QUL, Eco Institut, kbA, and kbT. They have three variables of eco mats: the Combo and Infinity mats, both made of natural tree rubber and recycled microfiber from plastic bottles. The Cork mats are made of—you guessed it— cork. Those are 100% biodegradable. They even have an ultra-thin mat, which makes it the perfect sustainable travel yoga mat.The cork used in their mats is extracted from the outer bark of the cork oak in the Mediterranean area. However, they do not cut down a single tree. Instead, they debark the trees by hand every nine years. And the image on the mats is simply stunning! It will be hard to choose one. Just a note here that recycled tires can contain Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals. But from my research, Yoloha says that the mats go through a triple washing process to remove the heavy metals, and the recycled tires are also on the bottom layer of the mat.

All of their mats are made in the United States except for their Mysore Yoga Rug, which is made in India, but they still ensure good working conditions and fair wages by following U.S. consumer and labor laws.

As the ancient discipline is all about mental stillness and feeling calm (sign us up), now is as good-a time as any to try it. Forget what you thought you already knew; yoga isn't about how bendy you can be or how long you can do a handstand for. No pressure to touch your toes without bending your knees here. Instead, it's all about reconnecting with your body and restoring your sense of inner peace. The first choice is the Original Eco Yoga Mat which is made from natural rubber (which does contain latex) and jute. Jute is a beautiful eco-fabric. It has no chemical additives and is 100% biodegradable. Jade Yoga began its eco journey over two decades ago and has since maintained its legacy as the makers of one of the best ethical yoga mats. When the bark is removed from cork trees, they absorb 3-5 times more carbon dioxide. Every year, a cork oak forest can retain up to 14 million tons of CO2, helping to reduce greenhouse gases! So COOL! They guarantee all U.S. environmental laws, and they do so since their founder, Dean Jerrehian, used to work as a lawyer for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency before joining the family business that is Jade Yoga.

We believe yoga should be accessible to all and we‘ve steadily grown our range of yoga mats to meet all abilities, needs and tastes. It all began with our Signature mat in 2008, and our technology and environmental credentials are now embedded across our ranges. Any waste leftover from their mats is used to produce other materials, creating a zero-waste manufacturing process.This is a different take on the traditional yoga mat, and I love it! The Herbal Yoga Mat is hand-loomed, using sustainable dyes, made with GOTS-certified cotton, and ethically crafted by artisans with love. To say that this mat is soft and cushy would be an understatement. Between practices, be sure to wipe away any excess moisture and let your mat air dry before storing it away. Avoid putting the mat in direct sun or hot temperatures though. UV exposure can speed up degradation, whatever your mat is made of. PVC, rubber, TPE, and PER mats can become flaky, brittle, and extra toxic if exposed to high heat and direct sunlight. Other yoga mat considerations
