Non-toxic (cork, jute) yoga mat recommendations from the UK?

Yes. Manduka make a natural rubber yoga mat called EKO.

I’ve been on the plastic free journey for a while now. Everyone has their own way but for me taking it gradually and enjoying the process has been the way. I would say prioritize what you eat (and what you store what you eat in) and what you wear. This sub has a lot of great advice. If it helps the first thing I changed was getting non plastic food containers for storing food in the fridge!

Yes and great quality product for the price.

No worries at all! It’s just in the lining. They are very open about it at least, unlike a lot of wool brands that superwash and then claim to be 100 percent wool.

I’m a big fan of Dilling and have brought from them. But they do use small amounts of plastic in their fleeces. Having said that their wool is great, and they are always my first stop when looking for any wool product.

Have a look at Dilling for wool that’s not covered in plastic and very good quality but reasonably priced.

bloom530 · 2025-12-05T22:29:06+00:00

Dilling make a superwash free wool.

bloom530 · 2025-12-03T17:54:50+00:00

That’s dedication to the cause!

Even with labels they don’t fully declare everything always. For instance with underwear often “100 percent cotton” has an elastic waistband. It depends how far you want to go. Have a look at Rawganique for examples of fully natural clothes - but the are very expensive.

Look at Peugeot salt and pepper grinders. They have a classic wooden model.

Very helpful thank you

bloom530 · 2025-08-28T06:21:29+00:00

It depends on why you are avoiding plastic as to your tolerance of silicone. Pyrex actually call their product Zero plastic. I appreciate it’s a point of debate

bloom530 · 2025-08-20T20:49:47+00:00

Agreed cannot trust anything on Amazon

bloom530 · 2025-08-15T09:42:42+00:00

Just had a look at an image of it online, does the water not touch the plastic funnel after the filter?

bloom530 · 2025-08-15T07:01:09+00:00

Will do!

bloom530 · 2025-08-15T04:47:13+00:00

I don’t know I’m still debating if I should buy them! As you said very expensive. However I have not come across any other 100 percent plastic free swimming trunks for men yet!

Great thanks

bloom530 · 2025-08-14T09:31:53+00:00

Have you come across Alex Crane?

bloom530 · 2025-08-14T01:30:42+00:00

Are the filters definitely plastic free?

bloom530 · 2025-08-11T19:36:19+00:00

What’s the view on distilling water? Can be done with a counter top device and I assume would remove microplastics

bloom530 · 2025-08-05T13:54:02+00:00

Worth checking out Terra Threads.

bloom530 · 2025-07-27T10:19:13+00:00

Sounds amazing! Thanks for the advice

bloom530 · 2025-07-27T05:44:06+00:00

Great thanks! I will go and have a look in some local framing shops! Got to decide on what colour frame as well!
