Kurma - Spring 2022 - Catalogue

KURMA AIMS TO REDUCE THE VAST ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF YOGA.

• In 2021 we launched our zero waste props collection, consisting of EVA blocks, cork blocks and a cotton blanket. Each of these products is made of at least 80% recycled material. • In 2020/21 we introduced the GECO Series , the only rubber mats that can be 100% recycled into new rubber yoga mats. • We initiated the ContinuOM Collective , a non-profit organisation dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for hard-to-recycle waste streams generated by the yoga industry and its consumers. To implement these solutions, we have launched the Second Flow initiative focusing on the collection of used yoga mats, the donation of too-good-to-go mats to worthy cause, and the recycling of yoga mats and production waste into new [yoga] products. In 2021 we recycled 5633 PVC and 2300 rubber yoga mats.

It is our goal to make every product we sell 100% recyclable , and several major milestones to achieve this ambitious aim have already been set:

Kurma yoga mats are strictly tested for harmful substances. These are certified according to Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, Product Class I (articles for babies and toddlers). The manufacturing process of our yoga mats is emission-free and energy-efficient. To minimize our impact on global warming, Kurma will become fully transparent and produce carbon-neutral yoga mats and props by end of 2022.
