AT MAAT WORLD, WE’RE COMBINING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF CRAFT WITH NEW RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP LESSEN OUR IMPACT ON THE PLANET. EVERY DAY, WE EXPLORE NEW SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN EVERYTHING FROM MATERIAL SOURCING TO DESIGNING, MANUFACTURING, AND PACKAGING. HERE ARE SOME PRACTICES WE HAVE ADOPTED TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE…
MATERIALS
We work with high quality, low impact materials that are sourced and produced with our planet in mind. Factors such as traceability of origin, fair conditions for farmers, animal welfare and the protection of biodiversity closely inform the way we approach and procure raw materials.
Our yoga mats are manufactured from natural tree rubber that is sustainably sourced in Malaysia by a process called rubber tapping. this process keeps the trees alive and can be reused for years.
Natural rubber is also a healthier choice as it does not contain harmful substances such as PVC, TPE, EVA and NBR which can release harmful chemicals during production, when in use, and when disposed of. Natural tree rubber is recyclable and biodegradable, unlike PVC which leaves a heavy footprint on our world.
WE STRIVE FOR A CLEAN OCEAN
At MAAT WORLD, we are proud to utilize PET microfiber made from 21 recycled plastic bottles recovered from the ocean, transforming waste into a sustainable resource. This innovative material not only helps to reduce plastic pollution but also offers exceptional durability and performance for our yoga mats. By repurposing these bottles, we contribute to cleaner oceans and support the circular economy, ensuring that discarded plastics are given a new life.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
We work with likeminded suppliers who are environmentally and socially conscious, and who strive to limit their environmental impact. In practical terms, this means complying with the applicable legal and environmental regulations, from actively seeking to improve the performance of our products, to taking clear steps to reduce CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process.
PACKAGING
We only use recyclable packaging.
MAAT uses ONE recycled cardboard box to both package and ship our product. We don’t believe in excessive packaging or excessive wastage. This reduces material consumption and transportation emissions.
Elimination of single-use plastic in our packaging materials. MAAT uses cornstarch packaging materials that are both biodegradable and recyclable.
