Our Sustainability Story
Yoga Design Lab is redefining the intersection of mindful movement and environmental responsibility. Their sustainability story is a testament to how thoughtful design and eco-conscious choices can harmoniously coexist in the world of yoga.
🌿 A Vision for a Greener Practice
At the heart of Yoga Design Lab's mission is a commitment to crafting vibrant, high-performance yoga essentials that are kind to the Earth. Recognising the challenges of achieving zero environmental impact, they strive to tread as lightly as possible by integrating sustainable materials and partnering with socially responsible factories.
♻️ Transforming Waste into Wellness
One of their standout initiatives involves the use of recycled PET (R-PET) in products like Combo Mats, Towels, Bags, and Bolsters. By repurposing old plastic bottles into ultra-absorbent microfiber materials, they've successfully diverted over 861,000 plastic bottles from oceans and landfills. This "suede-like" fabric not only benefits the environment but also offers exceptional grip, absorption, and softness for practitioners.
🌳 Embracing Renewable Cork
Yoga Design Lab's Cork Mats, Wheels, and Blocks are crafted from the outer bark of cork oak trees. Uniquely, these trees regenerate their bark, allowing for harvesting every nine years without harming the tree. This sustainable practice ensures that the trees can live up to 300 years, making cork an ideal renewable resource for eco-friendly yoga products.
🌱 Beyond Materials: A Holistic Approach
Their dedication to sustainability extends beyond materials. By using natural tree rubber, water-based inks, and collaborating with factories that uphold social responsibility, Yoga Design Lab ensures that every aspect of their production aligns with their eco-conscious values.
