There are a few ways for people to get involved with ReCORK.

01. DROP OFF YOUR CORKS

The simplest way is to drop off your corks at a Public Collection Partner in your area.

02. SIGN THE CORK PLEDGE

Join the 100% cork movement by signing the petition to major wine manufacturers and retailers at 100% Cork.

03. SHIP YOUR CORKS TO US

If there is no partner in your area, send your corks directly to us. Please see directions below.

04. BUY PRODUCTS MADE FROM RECYCLED CORK

One of the best ways to enable sustainable business practices is to spend money on companies who promote sustainability and value it as a corporate ethic. Buying products made from recycled corks enables ReCORK to continue the useful life of your corks. SOLE's cork footwear products will be available beginning in the Spring of 2010, and the target is to use ReCORK recycled cork by the Spring of 2011.

05. PATRONIZE YOUR LOCAL RECYCLING PARTNERS

These are restaurants, wine bars, and vineyards that send their used corks to ReCORK. Help them in their efforts to recycle by having a glass of wine!

06. TELL US YOUR IDEAS

Be sure to share your ideas and comments about this program with us. This is a grassroots effort open to new ideas and innovative thinking. Remember, you can make a difference, one cork at a time.

Shipping corks directly to ReCORK

Please do not send them to us one at a time, as this creates a large carbon footprint. We request that you wait until you have at least 15lbs. (around 1650 corks, or one big cardboard box) of cork to be shipped, to be as sustainable as possible with current shipping options. Please fill a used cardboard box with the corks, and contact us for a call tag (pre-paid shipping label). ReCORK will pay for shipping 15lbs. boxes.
