The cork that makes up our yoga products comes from the bark of cork oak trees, which grow in Mediterranean Europe. No trees are cut down to harvest the cork. Instead, their bark is carefully stripped away by hand in a skilled trade that is passed down over generations.
It takes nine years for the bark to grow back thick enough to be harvested again. While regenerating their bark, cork trees absorb five times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere vs. non-harvested trees.

Developed out of our effort to reduce the environmental impact on our planet, Plant Foam is made from sugarcane. Combined with our signature, sustainable cork surface we have achieved yoga mats made with up to 83% renewable materials. All of our yoga mats have been certified by the USDA biopreferred program to ensure bio-based content.
