Eco Benefits
By choosing cork you gain a healthy living environment, support sustainable livelihoods and promote protection of endangered ecosystems.
Cork floor tiles are the ultimate in ‘upcycling’. Made from the cork that’s left over from the more lucrative production of wine bottle corks, cork floor tiles are essentially a waste product, made good. They’re also from a completely renewable resource. Like shearing a sheep, bark is stripped from the cork oak tree, leaving the tree standing.
Cork Concepts flooring is unique in providing a natural flooring product with low VOC’s.
“They are a great example of balanced conservation and economic development. Their preservation is vital for the well-being of the Mediterranean region. More than 100,000 people in the seven Mediterranean-region countries depend directly or indirectly on cork for their livelihoods”. (See www.panda.org for more WWF information)
