Polyvinylchlorid Is a synthetic material. How can this mat be eco friendly still?

I honestly don't know. In doing some research, I found other manufacturers also advertising "Eco-PVC" mats which supposedly are dioxin and pthalate-free although I could not find any technical information on the internet to support such a claim. While I am aware of the health concerns with PVC, I detox and cleanse regularly so when comparing the price of this mat to others of similar material and build, the cost savings outweighed any potential issues. A friend/yoga teacher who recommended I look at a jute mat paid over $70 for each of her mats and they look almost identical to this one. My only recommendation would be to contact the seller with your concern.

The pillow is made of something other than plastic but I think there is some plastic in the construction. I put it between the pillow and the pillowcase to keep it relatively clean but it also wipes very well with a warm soapy cloth and dry with a paper towel and usually let it out exposed to the ambient air before I put it in the refrigerator for a few hours.

It is fabric inside and out it can be wiped out, but it is not slick plastic. I usually wipe every thing I put in it, the stuff to recycle.

The surface is cotton. There is a plastic internal film to contain the contents (water, glycerin, PVA, chloride).

It is completely plastic, on the outside the plastic is molded so it looks like weaved polyrattan, but it looks good! I recommend it!

It's plastic. So different from other mixes, there is no sediment in the bottom.

Synthetic. We didn't really like the material though and returned them. It is intended to be damp for the pool, while we wanted more of a gym towel.

it appear to be a clear vinyl, with a electrical grid imbedded between the layers. This is my second mat.

Two part. One - the plastic bottom piece which holds any liquid that goes through the mat. Then two - the grass mat. If you plan on using this product for a long period of time, i would recommend replacing the mat after long periods of use and cleaning.

There is No plastic, only a fabric thin type backing....seems Eco friendly to me. but it is not only100% Bamboo front-as it does have this back (otherwise you would shift and slide a bit if it was only all bamboo on bottom). I am very happy with our indoor use of product & would buy it again.

It is made of plastic but I am not sure if it's recycled. Also, I am not sure if it is food grade because I am just using it for a houseplant. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

It's some synthetic. I prefer to cover it with a cotton sheet because otherwise it causes some sweating. I would most definitely not leave it outside

I am not sure about the organic nature but this is the one from dirty jobs. I have been using them for two seasons now and nothing is better. keeps a lot of plastic out of the landfills.

It appears to be a synthetic material. It seems soft and like it would do nothing, but see the other recommendations (by me) for use so you don't accidentally scrub off all your skin, which is amazingly easy to do! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

Not quite sure what your asking since unless it's recycled, plastic isn't green to me. So I'm going to have to go with no.
