treeletic wins the Green Product Award 2022

With the bYo® yoga mat, treeletic wins its first award in the field of sustainability, the Green Product Award 2022.

Out of over 1,500 participants from 54 countries, we were named the winner in the Sustainable Yoga Mat category. 

The international Green Product Award has been recognizing products and services that stand out in terms of sustainability, innovation and design since 2013.

bYo is the first yoga mat on the European market to be made of 100% cork (previously only a thin layer of cork was used on the top side) and is therefore completely sustainable and recyclable. In addition, our bYo is manufactured in Portugal, thus avoiding unnecessarily long transportation routes.

Cork is obtained from the bark of the cork oak and is harvested for the first time at around 25 years of age and then at intervals of 9 years. A single cork oak can produce up to 1,000 kg of cork and live for 250 years.

 A peeled cork oak binds up to four times more carbon dioxide and is therefore good for people and nature.

No tree has to be felled for it, the use of cork extends the life of the tree and thus actively contributes to climate protection and results in an all-round positive ecological balance. All these positive properties are fully in line with our strict #iamtreeletic criteria.

treeletic was founded in 2020 with the aim of combining sport and sustainability and offering product solutions that are a real alternative.
