Recycled natural cork for further processing

It’s a material that comes directly from the production of other cork products. It isn’t ground down or sorted, which means every piece is unique in shape and size. You’ll find everything from fine flakes and chips to leaf-like pieces (with fractions ranging from 0 to 50 mm).

This isn’t your typical granulated cork – it’s a mix of various natural cork fragments. Compared to standard granules, recycled cork is a more affordable option.

It serves much the same purpose as standard cork granules. The key difference lies in its form – here, you’re working with flakes, chips, and leaf-like pieces rather than loose grains.

Applications of cork:

• Construction and industry: Cork helps make materials lighter, more durable, and better insulated. It’s often used as a natural filler, particularly in joints and cavities.
• Furniture-making: It works perfectly as an eco-friendly filling for pouffes and armchairs.
• Footwear: Used in the production of soles and insoles for shoes.
• Sporting goods: Found in items like punching bags and sports balls.
• Crafts, set design, and modelling: Ideal for creative and artistic applications.

It significantly reduces post-production waste. The material remains in circulation – reused as filling, decorative material, or an industrial component. While cork naturally decomposes without harming the environment, recycling extends its life by several more cycles, making it even more sustainable.

Cork recycling aligns perfectly with the principles of a circular economy: making the most of what already exists, without adding extra manufacturing steps. This brings clear environmental advantages – less waste, lower emissions, and reduced energy consumption.
