ReCORK hit a major milestone last week: we've collected over 10 million corks since the program's inception!
That's 10 million perfectly good corks that could have ended up in the trash, but because of the support and enthusiasm of our partners, will be re-used instead. Thank you ReCORK partners!
10,000,000 corks is a nice round number but when you consider 13 billion corks are used each year world-wide, 10mil is just a drop in the bucket. ReCORK is committed to filling the entire void in that bucket. There is still much more we can do, so please keep the corks coming.

I want to say an extra Thank You to all our winery partners who have donated their unused and outdated corks. The corks have been donated by the thousands and have made a great contribution to the recycling effort. Let's keep them coming.
