Cork, sourced from acorn, is lightweight, flexible, and pressure-resistant. It's sustainable, regenerating every 9-12 years. With thermal, soundproof, and shockproof properties, cork is waterproof, mold-resistant, and flame-retardant. It's used in wine stoppers, flooring, insulation, and more, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Harvesting cork does not require cutting down the tree; the process is much like shearing a sheep.

The average lifespan of a cork oak tree
Cork oak forests in Portugal cover an area of 736,000 hectares.
For every ton of cork harvested in these forests, about 7 tons of CO₂ are absorbed from the atmosphere.
Each hectare of cork oak forest can absorb 14.7 tons of CO₂.
One cork stopper can achieve a carbon retention of 250g, and every ton of cork stoppers can absorb 1.83 tons of CO₂.
Each ton of thick cork bark can produce an average of 66,700 cork stoppers, and cork stoppers are recyclable.
Every year, 120 billion cork stoppers are produced worldwide. If these cork stoppers were placed end to end, they could circle the Earth 15 times.

Around 80% of the world's cork is used for bottle stoppers, especially in the wine industry, due to its natural, renewable, and excellent sealing properties. China is the world's fifth-largest wine consumer, and consumption continues to grow. However, the single-use cork stoppers are a huge waste, as they can be 100% recycled and reused.
As a responsible leader in the cork industry, CAROLIM runs the NON-STOPPER Cork Recycling Program in China. Consumers can mail used cork stoppers to Caroline, and we will cover the shipping costs. We invite you to join our community to learn about the environmental impact of cork recycling and receive products made from recycled cork.
