Nissiyo Turns Old Wetsuits into Yoga Mats
Nissiyo is testing a 100-mat Series 01 made from shredded wetsuits and factory neoprene offcuts, with pre-orders collected before the price is announced.
Field notes
The proposed mat uses mixed neoprene from used wetsuits and factory offcuts, which are shredded, bound, and pressed into a new sheet rather than melted. Nissiyo frames Series 01 as a 100-mat test run: grip, weight, and sweat behavior are to be measured before the product is sold, including a planned 24-hour soak test. The page currently gathers email pre-orders and says payment follows only after the price is announced.
