ENVIROMENT
Corks are produced starting from the bark of cork oak, that cyclically renovate itself and whose extraction is completed without the requirement of tree felling.
Mediterranean cork-oak forests represent the perfect habitat for many rare species and their role is essential for the enviroment: they hinder environmental desertification and global warming, since they have the power to imbibe large quantities of CO2 (over 14 million tons per year).
THE CORK
Natural cork stoppers are sustainable, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and they represent one of the products with the least environmental impact among the different kinds of alternative wines stoppers.
LESS WASTE, MORE ENERGY
Gallura Langhe Corks got a healthy workplace, no waste, and an alternative source of energy.
During the entire manufacuirng process, raw material is fully used:
- the best selection is used for corks production
- process residues are used for technical stoppers production or insulation boards for the construction industry
- dust producted during cork manufacturing are used as fuels for thermal energy production
