There has been a massive shift in food consumption over the last few years. Many people are riding the vegan wave and changing their lifestyle for the better. Citizens across the UK have embraced the plant-based diet when they realised animal welfare and climate change are at stake. In fact, according to The Guardian (2018) the number of vegans in the UK sky rocketed by 350% in 2016, meaning the vegan population has increased from 150,000 to 542,000 in just under a decade. In addition, meat-free food has shot up to 22% between 2013 – 2018, and the growth is set to continue (Source: Mintel, 2019).
However, veganism is more than just dietary choices. It’s also about avoiding products and materials that harm the earth. Many products that we purchase are unnoticeably derived from animals or unrecyclable. The good news is that there are many products that are gentle on the earth, and our eco-friendly mats are one of them. You can still have a safe, clean environment and protect the earth with these range of mats.

Many businesses and individuals are adapting to this social change and have become more ethically aware. Our eco-friendly mats are perfect for businesses wanting to follow this cultural trend.
