Reduce, reuse and recycle, now Corticeira Amorim recovered 736 tonnes of cork in 2020 across its various recycling programmes. Around 164 million stoppers have gained a new purpose, extending the life cycle of a versatile natural raw material, increasing the number of its possible applications and extending cork’s inherent carbon retention capacity. The recycling projects promoted by the world’s largest cork transformation group span the four corners of the world. They generate a significant community impact and help us strike the right balance between people, the economy and the planet. The projects include reforestation programmes, environmental education initiatives and social responsibility activities. Awareness of the work produced in little over a decade nonetheless underline a key finding: only 2-3% of all cork stoppers produced annually are recycled. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Now!
