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 our yoga mats have been certified by the USDA biopreferred program to ensure bio-based content.
Crops used to create Plant Foam work to remove more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere as they grow. 95% of the water utilized by a typical sugarcane mill is treated and re-used, minimizing water usage. Sugarcane fields contribute to healthier soils by limiting soil loss, due in part to the semi-perennial nature of sugarcane. The same plant grows back many times after harvest and is typically only replanted every five or six years. Plus, Plant Foam contains ZERO PVC’s, latex, plasticizers or rubber smells.
