• Sustainability has been a hot topic for some time
  now and we had discussed about this in our last
  blog and the designers are changing their
  concepts looking for materials that have got a
  lesser effect on the environment. Materials that
  can be recycled, recyclable are gaining Vogue and
  had started to make their mark in architecture
  and design.

• One of these materials is cork is a water
  resistant, able to float, non-flammable  and
  flexible material that is collected from the cork
  oak forests of North Africa and South Europe.
   But the material cork is being used for every
  purpose which we can imagine are flooring,
  furniture, walls and other accessories.

• Cork material is extracted from the bark of the
  Cork Oak Tree. The extraction process does not
  really damage the tree it is renewable. Every
  nine years there is new bark that has to be
  removed. So cork is a material that comes
  directly from nature there is very little
  processing involved. So the ecological trace from
  its extraction until the final product is
  comparatively very low compared to the industry
  average of plastic production. Therefore when you
  hold a cork material made product in your hand
  you can feel that you are holding a bit of nature
  not some synthetic unhealthy material. Thats
  the beauty of cork.

• On a very important note as the cork is
  sustainable, the more people will procure it, the
  more the cork industry needs to plant more cork
  oak trees and that create a cycle that is healthy
  for the environment of our planet. So supporting
  cork is in fact supporting nature.
