Zero-waste yoga mats launched

04/09/2008
Yoga gear producer Manduka has launched a new Pro line of yoga mats.

Made using an Oeko-Tex certified emissions-free process, the new BlackMatPRO and PROlite are the first ever to be guaranteed to last a lifetime, fitting with the company’s commitment to eco-responsibility and reducing consumption.

The BlackMatPRO is an improved version of the previously launched Black Mat, offering a non-slip fabric finish and cushioning.

The revamped PROlite, formerly known as the PurpleLite Travel Mat, is the lighter-weight counterpart to the BlackMatPRO. It is now available in five colours: the original purple, pacific (blue), pinot (red), apricot (orange), olive (green).

"Introducing the lifetime guarantee came out of our belief in the quality and sustainability of this yoga mat line," said CEO, Sky Meltzer. "Manduka is committed to creating a better future our zero-waste and emissions free yoga mats are designed to last a lifetime."
