RECORK
The circular solution RECORK circular solution was created to give new life to multi-material waste from the cork industry – mixtures of cork with rubber, plastics, fabrics, wood, among others, which are usually difficult to reuse.
We transform this waste into reusable raw materials, capable of re-entering production processes and extending the life cycle of cork.
We combine innovation, tradition and sustainability, preserving the value of one of Portugal's most emblematic materials.
WHAT DRIVES US
