Looking out for you and the planet
C pur takes new measures and a stronger position every day to develop products that are in line with our believes. It is nice and sweet to talk about how we would like the world to be or imagine how it could be, but unless we act upon our believes on an individual level, nothing can happen! We don't want only to talk the talk but we also want to walk the walk! On this page you can discover the many ways we are working on our dream of a better world!
HAND TAGS THAT GROW
This December we have started to use plant-and-grow hang tags — so when you tear off the tag for your new C pur poduct you can just cover it with dirt, feed with love and water, and you’ll be growing wildflowers! These hang tags are made of post-consumer materials (not trees) embedded with seeds. Pretty cool!
C PUR'S GREENER PROGRAM
If you haven’t noticed yet, we’re all about keeping things green over here at C pur. Although our TPE mats are recyclable, biodegradable, and toxic free, we decided to take things one step further in 2012. Recycling is great and all, but isn’t it better that we find a new use for these mats before consuming energy to break them down and turn them into something new? Remeber, one yogi’s trash can be someone else’s treasure.
Soon, we will offer a list of studios that have agreed to be a drop spot for our yoga mat repurposing program. All you’ll need to do is drop off your used mat, along with your name and email address, and C pur reps will pick it up and donate it to someone who can continue to use it. Where your mat will be donated depends on the condition. Gently used mats can be donated to places like the Aviva Center in Los Angeles, where our local rep Caitlin teaches yoga to troubled teens. Older mats can be given to animal shelters, where they can serve as comfortable lining for dog/cat crates, or to homeless shelters, where they can add a layer of padding and love on which someone can sleep.
The beauty of this program is that you can donate any mat you no longer use, it doesn’t have to be a C pur product. To thank you for your donation, we will email you a discount code for any online C pur purchase! Whether you’re in the market for a new mat or simply have a few old ones laying around, you can help someone out and give yourself the gift of something new to compliment your practice. Stay green and share the love!
