Why choose cork?

Cork harvesting is an environmentally friendly process during which not a single tree is cut down. The cork industry is a near perfect example of renewable and sustabinable production. The bark of the cork oak is harvested without damaging the tree, and grows back to be harvested again every nine years over the 200+ year lifespan of the tree. Read more

The Giving Tree

Renewable & Sustainable

Every year, cork oak forests absorb up to 14 million tonnes of CO2. This ability to retain carbon dioxide is passed on to the products that it manufactures, which includes cork underlayment. During the natural regeneration process that follows harvesting, the tree's ability to absorb CO2 increases up to five times. The more it is harvested, the more it protects the environment.

Bark is Harvested

Without Harm

Cork bark is harvested by hand by skilled agricultural workers. Practices to protect the trees and the forest and ensure the quality of the final product have evolved over centuries. Providing economic benefit to all those who rely on it far into the future.

Cork Is Natures
