ReKorek Information

We want your cork! With millions natural cork stoppers being used every year, we need your help to create real change with recycled cork. Don't thrash away your natural cork from wine, champagne or prosecco bottles. Drop them off in a local Public Collection Partner near you - Why to recycle? The oak tree needs 25 years to produce cork with the quality used in bottles. After that, cork is extracted from the tree every 9 years. Over 70% of the raw cork is used for the production cork stoppers. 40 million cork wine stoppers are made per day just in Portugal!
