We're sometimes asked why we bother to recycle cork. The simple answer is that natural cork is entirely re-usable. Cork is multi-functional and did I mention that it's natural? Cork has value well beyond its first purpose as a bottle closure. It can, and should be used to create innovative products, especially when it replaces petroleum-based materials. Frankly, not taking advantage of its virtues is egregious.

ReCORK advocates for natural cork. The virtues of natural cork used for bottle closures are well documented on our site. Not only is it the natural, more authentic way to bottle your wine, but cork's environmental impact is dramatically less than that of oil- and metal-based closures.

We came across this innovative use of cork and thought it was pretty cool. We like to support anything that helps the cork cause.
