Pamela Levine, CEO of Manduka, highlighted the collection's role in the company's broader sustainability goals, emphasizing the integration of performance and environmental responsibility. This launch not only caters to the eco-conscious consumer but also sets a precedent for the activewear industry, encouraging other brands to adopt more sustainable practices.
