Cork is the bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber L), a noble tree with very special characteristics that grows in Mediterranean regions such as Spain, Italy, France, Morocco, Algeria, and especially Portugal, where there are more than 720 000 hectares of cork oak forests, as well as a cork industry of great economic importance.
It is an amazing tree of great longevity and an enormous capacity for regeneration. It can live on average 150 to 200 years, despite the many harvests that make throughout his life: about 16 interspersed with periods of nine years.
This plant tissue which is harvested as carefully - cork - has unique qualities, unique and to date no human ingenuity could imitate or improve:
1. very light
2. impermeable to liquids and gases
3. elastic and compressible
4. an excellent thermal and acoustic
5. Smouldering
6. very resistant to abrasion
But it is, above all, a material one hundred percent natural, recyclable and biodegradable, three essential qualities in a society like the current you want less and less polluted and environmentally friendly.
