Innovation & Sustainability

 

Sustainable Packaging

 

Since 2015, we've implemented sustainable packaging for our products, emphasising the use of eco-friendly materials. We employ biodegradable courier bags and opt for environmentally friendly packaging accessories, tape and bubble wrap. Our 'packaging for a purpose' policy ensures products are packaged in reusable mesh bags or with recycled cardboard contributing to waste reduction.

 

 

 

Recycled Polyester

 

In 2022, we began incorporating Recycled Polyester (RPET) into our Yoga and Reformer Mats. RPET is derived from discarded plastic bottles and fishing nets, diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans. By reusing these materials, MoveActive actively participates in waste reduction and recycling.

 

 

Organic Cotton

 

Starting from March 2023, we have shifted towards using certified organic cotton in our grip sock collections. Organic cotton cultivation employes a sustainable approach that eliminates harmful chemicals, reducing environmental impact, conserving water and energy, whilst also reducing use of pesticides.

 

 

Eco Cork

 

In 2022, we introduced our Cork Range, This collection, including yoga and reformer mats, blocks, massage balls and rollers, utilises 100% natural cork, an eco-friendly and biodegradable materials. The use of cork, a renewable resource, aligns with climate action goals and supports eco-conscious consumers in their choices.
