Cork
ECo–FrIENDLY ProDUCTS
The life cycle of cork as a raw material starts with the ex-
traction of the bark, the so-called harvest, which is carried
out from end-May to the end-August. The first stripping
produces virgin cork which is used for other applications
than cork stoppers – flooring, insulation, decoration, aqua-
rium, terrarium etc – since its quality is not good enough
to manufacture stoppers.
Nine years later, the harvest produces material with a re-
gular structure, suitable for cork stoppers – the normal
and usual corkwood. After the harvest, the cork planks are
stacked in piles either in the forest or in yards at a factory.
After seasoning, corkwood is boiled to remove organic
solids lodged in the lenticels/pores. Planks are then stabi-
lized, selected by quality/thickness and conveyed for the
right usage:
Wine stoppers – the top grades, proper thickness.
Cork discs – champagne and technical stoppers.
Natural blocks – flooring, decorative, shoe.
Cork paper and cork textile.
The planks with faults are eliminated for granulation
together with the wastes remaining from the stoppers
punching machines.We then get the cork granules, the raw
CORK TREE
material for the production of agglomerated cork: blocks,
sheets and rolls.
Cork is the bark of the cork oak – Quercus suber L – a noble tree
with very special characteristics, growing in Mediterranean
regions, most particularly, in Portugal, covering an area of
approximately 720 thousand hectares of cork forests. A tree
can live in average 150 to 200 years, despite its bark being
stripped at nine year cycles it has an enormous capacity for
regeneration.
Cork has unique qualities – very light, impermeable to
liquids and gases, elastic and compressible, excellent
isolator, both thermal and acoustic, slow burning.
Above all, it is a material absolutely natural and recyclable.
The cork forest provides an ecosystem that makes the
natural habitat for indigenous mammals and birds in risk of
extinction – Iberian Lynx and Imperial Eagle.
