treeletic Wins the 2022 Green Product Award

With the bYo® yoga mat, treeletic has won its first sustainability award, the 2022 Green Product Award.

Out of more than 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 excel in sustainability, innovation, and design since 2013.

bYo is the first yoga mat on the European market made of 100% cork (previously, only a thin layer of cork was used on the top surface), making it a standout choice thanks to its comprehensive sustainability and full recyclability. In addition, our bYo is manufactured in Portugal, which helps avoid unnecessarily long shipping distances.

Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak and is harvested for the first time when the tree is about 25 years old, and then every 9 years thereafter. A single cork oak can produce up to 1,000 kg of cork and live to be 250 years old.

 A debarked cork oak sequesters up to four times as much carbon dioxide, making it beneficial for both people and nature.

No trees need to be cut down for this; the use of cork extends the tree’s lifespan and thus actively contributes to climate protection, resulting in an all-around positive environmental footprint.All of these positive qualities are fully in line with our strict #iamtreeletic criteria.

treeletic was founded in 2020 with the goal of combining sports and sustainability and offering product solutions that serve as a genuine alternative.
