Is cork a natural material?
Cork is a natural raw material which is 100% biodegradable, recyclable and renewable. Cork’s innate renewability is considered its finest feature as it can be harvested from the outer bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber) without causing harm and leaving the tree to regenerate. Cork trees, generally found in Mediterranean countries, are slow growing and can live up to 250 years with the harvesting cycle typically occurring every nine years. According to the World Wildlife Federation, a cork tree that has its bark removed every nine years will absorb up to five times as much CO2 than a similar tree that is left idle. So, using cork furniture helps against climate change.
What is the origin of cork?
Cork is the bark of the cork oak tree – Quercus Suber L. – which means that it is 100% natural plant tissue. Cork oak tree is a millenary tree that grows in the Mediterranean basin. One of the largest area of cork oak forest is inthe south of Portugal where our cork comes from.
