What is this project all about?

For years, a yoga mat made of cork in combination with natural rubber has been advertised as the sustainable alternative. However, natural rubber mixtures are often used here, the mixing ratios of which do not have to be specified, similar to plastic production. These different material compositions often make successful recycling impossible.

In addition, our worldwide annual demand for natural and synthetic rubber has almost doubled from 2002 at almost 18 Mehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Why would you support this project?

With your support for a wildlines cork yoga mat you help to protect the precious resources of our earth and use materials that have already been produced that would otherwise be incinerated or illegally disposed of in the environment.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

Since 2020 we have been investing a lot of time and even more money in our detailed material research from our own pockets. That's not even counting our hundreds of hours of design, marketing, sales, and shipping of our previous products.

Now that we have found our solution for an ecological, fair and transparently sustainable cork yoga mat, we need your support for the implementation.
