Plastic Mat | Outdoor Rug | Whale Shark Design | 1.8 x 2.7m Blues

Support clean seas with this new recycled plastic mat influenced by whale sharks. We've teamed up with fantastic eco-friendly Western Australian lifestyle brand, Ningaloo Swimwear, to bring this stunning whale shark design to life in a recycled outdoor rug. Inspiration is drawn from the breathtaking deepwater reef in the Indian Ocean to introduce, the Ningaloo Whale Shark mat.

The Ningaloo Reef is a World Heritage-listed part of the northern Western Australian Coast. It is home to over 500 species of tropical fish and also the only place where the largest fish in the planet, the whale sharks, visit every year. These gentle giants swim through the Ningaloo Reef in large groups each year between March and August.

Initiatives such as education programs are being widely run across the Ningaloo area to teach youth how to help secure the conservation of the Reef and the incredible animals that inhabit it throughout the year. These initiatives to keep our oceans healthy are important to us, which is why our collaboration with Ningaloo Swimwear promotes the recycling of plastic. Recycling plastic into new life prevents it from entering our precious waterways and helps preserve aquatic ecosystems, like the Ningaloo Reef. This new beauty is made with our innovated recycled plastic created from 95% repurposed polypropylene, allowing you to shop sustainably.

These unique reversible plastic picnic mats are easy to clean, comfy and soft to sit on, and as a bonus, UV treated to resist colour fading. The Ningaloo makes for the ideal outdoor rug on picnics, at the beach and on camping trips as it is compact and light for portability. It conveniently also comes in a recycled plastic carry bag that can be used for transportation and storage.
