The updated eKO? is a natural yoga mat made from sustainably harvested tree rubber and containing over 30% recycled contents. Unlike other rubber mats available today, the foaming agents used to create the?eKO? are non-toxic. What this means is that no toxic chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process to soften the rubber. eKO? Series mats are the most durable natural rubber mats on the market, which means the mat will last longer before you have to replace it, therefore creating less waste. The packaging is made from recycled PET. Crafted in Taiwan.
