How do the products get recycled?Updated 5 months ago

Great question! Your items are shipped back to our warehouse,they are sorted by material and other key recycling factors, like color and wear. Depending on the material composition of the yoga mats, some mats will be componentry-to-componentry recycled, the gold-standard in recycling—where mats are processed into their component parts, such as rubber and EVA, and utilized in new products, including new yoga mats and more. Those that cannot be componentry-to-componentry recycled will be open-loop recycled into one of our best-in-class upcycling or downcycling projects, becoming things like rubber mats and resurfacing material for new construction projects. We hold a strict 5+ year extension-of-life minimum for the upcycled or downcycled projects, so your yoga mat will live on in a new form for years to come.  We guarantee that all items are diverted from landfill and find a new life! Our goal is for you to be able to follow the entire lifecycle of your specific product through the recycling process. Hold tight as we figure out all the logistics of all that ;)
