Yoga mat eKO SuperLite - Charcoal

The yoga mats from the eKO series by Manduka are the right choice for environmentally conscious yogis who value easy care and a long lifespan for their mat. Unlike other natural rubber mats, the eKO Lite has a closed-pore surface and is therefore protected from sweat, dirt and dust; this makes it easy to clean and particularly robust. The eKO Lite also has an extremely positive environmental balance: natural rubber is 100% biodegradable and Manduka completely avoids the use of harmful chemicals in its production. In the particularly thin and light travel version, the eKO yoga mat can be rolled and folded and fits in any hand luggage!

The two-layer technology used by Manduka ensures the right grip and stability of the eKO SuperLite:

• The orange peel-like surface structure makes the mat particularly grippy.
• The bottom layer of the mat is made of organic cotton and is welded to the top layer at high temperature. No toxic adhesives are used.

Natural rubber mats have a natural rubber smell, which evaporates over time.

Natural materials

The eKO yoga mats are made from natural rubber not harvested in the Amazon, a natural, renewable resource from the latex of the rubber tree Hevea Brasiliensis. Unlike other rubber mats, the foams used to make them are non-toxic and free of AZO dyes. No toxic chemicals are used in the manufacturing process to soften the rubber.

Recycled and recyclable

Natural rubber is completely biodegradable. The material mix also contains a small amount of recycled synthetic rubber, which makes the mat particularly stable.

Resource and CO2 saving

The yoga mats in the eKO series are among the most durable natural rubber mats on the market. When manufacturing the mats from the eKO series, Manduka ensures that they are produced in an energy-conscious and environmentally friendly manner with minimal waste production.

Certified

Manduka always ensures fair and social working conditions and imposes strict requirements on all production sites involved.

Fair produced

Manduka always pays attention to fair and social working conditions and imposes strict requirements on all production facilities involved. The eKO series is produced in Asia.

Storage: Do not expose your Manduka eKO SuperLite mat to excessive sunlight. If the mat has become damp from sweat or water, allow it to dry completely before rolling it up.

Odor: The mats from the eKO series are made of natural, biodegradable natural rubber and are manufactured without toxic glues or odor binders. Natural rubber has a typical odor that disappears over time, but remains noticeable in traces for people who are sensitive to odors. More information on the subject of odor in natural rubber mats can be found here.

Daily cleaning: With the Manduka Mat Wash and Refresh your mat stays hygienically fresh and clean. Simply spray on after each workout, wipe off and let the mat dry thoroughly.

Monthly refresher: For a more intensive monthly refresh, Manduka recommends using the Restore mat spray specially designed for the eKO series: spray on, leave for 5 minutes, wipe off and allow the mat to dry thoroughly.

Thorough cleaning: Manduka's herbal yoga mat cleaner is particularly suitable for thoroughly cleaning your eKO mat.
