The cork tree is typical of the western Mediterranean region.
It is known as Quercus suber L., and belongs to a sub-group of European and Asian oak species. One of its most distinctive properties is the outer homogeneous layer that grows around its trunk, called cork. As stated before, the words “waste” and “cork tree” don’t go together. Cork trees might be one of the most versatile trees ever to grace the world.
The acorn, its fruit, serves as food for other animals, to further seed new trees, and to produce culinary oil. Moreover the leaves can be used as natural fertilizers and fodder for the animals.
The tree’s pruning results in vegetal coal and wood, useful for many immediate communities and post-processed products. The cork tree oils also find an interesting application through its chemical properties, such as directly natural beauty products.
Cork is the Quercus Suber tree outer layer, and it’s 100% natural and vegetal. It’s versatility is unmatched. Here are some of its key characteristics, that set it apart from other wooden materials:
Since more than 50% of its volume is air, it is incredibly light. It weighs about 0,16 grams per cubic centimeter.
Completely waterproof and mostly impervious to gases, thanks to its composition and cellular structure.
Perhaps one of the biggest strengths of cork – it is recyclable and environment-friendly. From the tree to the end-product.
Cork protects against allergies and can be used risk-free by people with asthma and other people susceptible to small airborne particles.
Do not release any dangerous compounds.
