At Pumayana we care deeply about our impact on the planet and as such we have put a lot of care and research into the development of products that are ethical and sustainable and where possible natural.

In line with our policy of giving back and nurturing earth, mankind and spirit we decided to focus on recycling and cleaning the ocean through our product production.

All of the fabrics that we utilise to produce the full range of clothing and also our tapestries are made from recycled polyester fabric that is made up of plastic bottles and plastic waste gathered mainly from the Atlantic Ocean.

By purchasing clothing from Pumayana you are helping to clean the ocean and reduce plastic waste.

Different products are made with different percentages of recycled polyester – please see each individual product page for details of the exact percentage.

There is however another issue to address. Significant improvements in water testing has now shown that any synthetic fabric is likely to shed small microfibres (particles under 5mm) which in turn pollute our waterways. Microfibre filters for washing machines are under development, but in the meantime we recommend that you use a Guppy Friend.

This ingenious and simple device catches 99% of any shedding from synthetic fabrics. You simply pop your clothes in the bag and then pop the bag in your washing machine.

Pumayana Yoga Mats are designed to last, with a natural rubber base and an absorbent top layer that is made from recycled plastic bottles. Like our clothing range by purchasing a Pumayana Yoga Mat you are helping to reduce landfill and ocean pollution.

The top layer has a satin like feel and is non slip meaning you can safely use our yoga mat for any type of yoga, hot yoga or Pilates.

We use natural and sustainable organic rubber not synthetic. Many yoga mats are made from synthetic rubber made from the polymerization of petroleum based products. Our natural organic rubber is made from the latex of rubber trees - in other words the trees did not have to be cut down, the latex is extracted from healthy living rubber trees.

We provide a 100% natural cotton carry strap so that you can transport your Pumayana Yoga Mat with ease.

We use all natural materials to produce our yoga mats so they are free from silicone, toxic glues, phthalates, PVC and Chlorine, which sadly are commonly found in cheaper mass produced yoga mats.

In addition we use water based inks to produce the beautiful and inspiring images you see on the different mats.
