WHAT IS RECYCLED NATURAL CORK?
Recycled natural cork is a byproduct from the manufacturing of other cork items. Unlike traditional granules, it's not ground down or sorted—each piece retains its unique shape and size, ranging from flakes to curls up to 50 mm. This natural assortment not only adds character but also makes it a more budget-friendly option compared to standard granulates.
HOW CAN CORK WASTE BE UTILIZED?
Recycled cork serves similar purposes as traditional cork granules but offers a more organic appearance. Instead of uniform grains, you'll find natural-looking flakes and pieces.
Common applications include:
- Construction and Manufacturing – Acts as a lightweight filler enhancing insulation when combined with building materials.
- Home Furnishings – Ideal for stuffing items like poufs and seat cushions.
- Footwear – Excellent for insoles and soles due to its cushioning properties.
- Fitness Equipment – Used in products like weighted bags and certain sports balls.
- DIY and Theater – Great for crafting models, props, or creative home projects.
WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF CORK RECYCLING?
One significant advantage is the reduction of waste. Instead of discarding cork, it's repurposed—whether as filling, design elements, or in manufacturing processes.
Cork is naturally biodegradable and eco-friendly, but recycling extends its lifecycle, enhancing its sustainability.
This practice supports a circular economy, where existing materials are reused, minimizing the need for new resources. The result? Less waste, lower energy consumption, and a reduced carbon footprint.
DO YOU OFFER OTHER TYPES OF CORK GRANULES?
Absolutely – In addition to recycled cork, we provide sorted, traditional cork varieties:
- Cork Powder – A super-fine form, similar in texture to sand or flour.
- Granulated Cork – Loose cork grains available in various sizes.
- Cork Nuggets – Larger pieces, perfect when more volume is needed.
HOW SHOULD RECYCLED NATURAL CORK BE STORED?
Store in a dry and well-ventilated area. Avoid damp environments, direct sunlight, and heat sources to maintain its quality.
Let’s face it — a lot of so-called “green” materials are more hype than substance. They're either overpriced, underperforming, or both. You shouldn’t have to overpay for quality or settle for something flimsy. Reclaimed natural cork gives you an affordable, dependable, and authentically sustainable alternative.
#1 LIGHTWEIGHT, NATURAL, AND INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE
Made from natural cork pieces of different shapes and sizes, recycled cork is one of the most versatile materials around. Whether you need to cut it, glue it, layer it, or build with it, it adapts to your project with ease. It’s functional, flexible, and ready to get to work.
One more thing? It’s super light. That makes it perfect when you want insulation without adding bulk. Think lightweight construction, filling gaps, or weekend DIY jobs. And while it’s easy to handle, it’s tough enough to resist moisture — plus it’s completely free from toxic chemicals.
#2 AFFORDABLE BY DESIGN – FEWER STEPS, LOWER COST
Unlike highly processed cork products, recycled cork skips the expensive refinement steps. That means you save money without sacrificing usability. No fine grinding, sorting, or shaping — just straight-up simplicity that works.
Sure, it’s a bit more raw and natural-looking, but that’s part of its charm. If you don’t need a perfectly polished finish, recycled cork delivers great value and a solid performance without stretching your budget.
#3 ZERO-WASTE MINDSET
Giving cork a second life isn’t just smart — it’s efficient. It cuts down on energy use because there's no need to restart complex machinery or reprocess materials from scratch. It’s a low-impact, streamlined approach that makes a difference.
That’s the spirit of the circular economy — rethinking waste and making the most of what we already have. It might seem small, but these choices add up and create real environmental impact over time.
