3 Ways to Recycle or Reuse Old Yoga Mats

April 8th, 2014

888 San Mateo’s onsite yoga studio provides a convenient way to unwind after a long day, but after countless sun salutations, worn-out yoga mats are inevitable. Instead of tossing them, consider recycling in San Mateo and reusing them in creative ways.

Yoga mats can also be reusable for other functions. Snip an old yoga mat down to size, and place it under a rug at home for an eco-friendly, skid-proof surface to keep the rug in place. From mouse pads to shelf lining, yoga mats can be recast into different roles for your apartment.

If a yoga mat is gently used and still in good shape, consider donating it to a nearby organization that needs yoga mats, such as a school or youth organization. Check with local animal shelters to see if they need them as padding for the inside of dog crates and carriers.

Sustainability is at the foundation of 888 San Mateo’s green living since our apartment community was built with recycled materials.
