Why use natural cork?
Nothing is more ideally suited to sealing a bottle than natural cork. And it’s better for the environment, too. Natural cork works best because it’s flexible, elastic, and compressible. The typical cork closure is composed of 750,000,000 cells. These cells are watertight, with a gaseous mixture in each cell similar to air that become compressed when inserted into the bottleneck. Once decompressed, the cork stopper recovers its initial size, providing a complete seal. Natural cork’s elasticity remains dynamic for a long time. Temperature variations during storage cause glass to expand and contract. So does cork, ensuring a complete bottle seal at all times. Natural cork is resistant to wear and tear. Due to its specific structural composition, cork offers high resistance to humidity and oxidation. Natural cork is recyclable, renewable and reusable. Cork may be recycled by grinding, then used in other products like wall panels, shoe soles, and more. By using natural cork, you ensure the
