A yoga mat is usually made of the material "TPE" / "TPR". The term "TPE" stands for "thermoplastic elastomers" / "thermoplastic rubber" and refers to a material with properties similar to rubber that have been combined with the properties of thermoplastics. For example, "TPE" has the option of being plastically deformed with thermal heat supply and being processed into a yoga mat, for example. Thermoplastic elastomers have been increasingly used since the middle of the last century. The "TPE" material is non-toxic because it does not use any plasticizers or heavy metals and is environmentally friendly because it is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.
