About

Cork is one of the materials of choice for stoppers of quality wines and spirits, providing protection against oxidation while allowing for optimal oxygen transfer during aging. From a sustainability perspective, cork is natural and 100% renewable. Cork is also biodegradable, reusable, and recyclable. However, due to food safety concerns, the incorporation of recycled materials in cork stoppers is mostly not applicable.

So, can stoppers make a difference on carbon footprint or waste generation and management?
