Harvested in the Alentajo
Cork is fully recyclable
Did you know, wine bottle corks are not just biodegradable; as a natural material they absorb CO2, but their life doesn't need to end when you open a bottle.
Recycling and re-using this amazing and extremely valuable material doesn't just extend its life cycle.
Enjoy in the video a fascinating insight into the world of cork, how it is harvested, the process that manufactures cork wine stoppers and how businesses like Amorim can recycle and reprocess wine cork stoppers into some the most remarkable products.
Save your wine corks
Start saving your wine corks today.
As soon as you begin your collection cork's natural appeal starts to shine through.
Cork stoppers, like the cork oak they come from, naturally retain CO2. A single cork stopper is capable of absorbing up to 56.4 grams of CO2. But for a material as special as cork, this is just the beginning. Pop! The bottle has just been opened and a new journey for cork begins. (Courtesy Amorim Cork).
There are lots of ways to save used cork, they are all pleasing to the eye. Watch this space, coming soon, unique, collectable display cabinets for your cork stoppers.
We recycle cork stoppers into granules, providing a valuable, much needed resource for manufacturers in the construction industry. It is one of our most efficient insulation material and creates hardwearing attractive flooring.
