Cork: Natural, renewable and eco-friendly
Cork is derived from the bark of the cork oak tree, mainly grown in the Mediterranean region, with Portugal and Spain as the largest producers.
Dating back to ancient times, cork has been essential due to its unique properties. It is naturally impermeable, buoyant, elastic, and fire resistant, making it ideal for a wide range of uses, from wine stoppers to building insulation.
This renewable resource is not only practical but also environmentally friendly, as harvesting cork doesn’t harm the tree and helps maintain biodiversity in cork oak forests.
