Did you know that cork extraction is a sustainable process that does not harm the cork oak? On the contrary, it stimulates it to carry out more photosynthesis to carry out the growth process of the new cork layer. As a result: • There is greater capture of CO₂: During the regeneration period, the cork oak captures up to 5 times more CO₂ than it normally would. • Contribution to a less polluted planet: This extraordinary capacity helps to mitigate the effects of carbon emissions, one of the main causes of climate change. But cork oaks bring more benefits to the environment:  - Protection of biodiversity: the cork oak forests are home to several species of plants and animals.  - Soil preservation: prevent erosion and help with water retention.  - Obtaining a sustainable product: cork is 100% natural, renewable and recyclable! ♻️ Cork is more than a versatile material—it is a choice for a more sustainable future.  👉 Find out more about how cork can transform the world around you.

Cork is one of the most sustainable materials in the world, produced from the bark of cork oaks, trees typical of the Mediterranean region, where the hot and dry climate favors their growth. This bark has remarkable properties, such as the fact that it is naturally fireproof, protecting against the frequent forest fires that occur in these areas. Cork extraction is a manual process, carried out with great skill by experienced cork harvesters. This careful method ensures that no trees are cut down, preserving the cork oaks and allowing the bark to regenerate naturally. It takes approximately 25 years for a cork oak tree to produce its first harvest of cork, known as “virgin cork”. After this initial period, the bark can be harvested every 9 years, for several decades, with each tree capable of providing cork up to 17 times throughout its life. Over the course of its existence, a single cork oak can produce around 700 kg of cork, a versatile, biodegradable and 100% natural material. Furthermore, cork oak forests play a crucial role in environmental balance, contributing to carbon capture, the preservation of biodiversity and the prevention of desertification.💚🌿 For all these reasons, we are proud to have developed a brand of products that are one hundred percent cork-based, both in our yoga and office lines. #cork #ecofriendly #corkoat #sustentability #green #bornfromnature
