Go Green Yoga Mats is an online based company created in August of 2008. The company provides customers with eco-friendly yoga mats and products that help keep the environment safe for generations to come. Gogreenyogamats.com does not sell any products containing more than 1% PVC.

Why PVC is bad for our environment:

• PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, commonly referred to as vinyl, is one of the most hazardous consumer products ever created.
• Most consumers do not know that a 3 in the recycle symbol indicates that the plastic is made of PVC. PVC cannot be effectively recycled due to the many different toxic additives used. One PVC bottle can contaminate a recycling batch of 100,000 bottles. Less than 1% of PVC is recycled!
• When produced or burned, PVC plastic releases dioxins, a group of the most potent synthetic chemicals ever tested, which can cause cancer and harm the immune and reproductive systems.
• Health risks include angiosarcoma of the liver, lung cancer, brain cancer, lymphomas, leukemia, and liver cirrhosis.
• Communities surrounding vinyl chloride facilities suffer from groundwater and air pollution.
• New car smell? New shower curtain smell? That’s the smell of poisonous chemicals off-gassing from the PVC. Our bodies are contaminated with poisonous chemicals released during the PVC lifecycle, such as mercury, dioxins, and phthalates, which may pose irreversible life-long health threats.
