Trust in sustainability: Cork and the future

Sustainability is a commitment that Online Cork tries to keep and reinforces every year, and the use of cork as raw material clarifies that.

Since we launched our online store in 2020, we have sought to create a diversified portfolio of cork products able to put Portugal’s name across borders, and above all that, able to show our respect for nature and what it represents.

With this in mind, we combine our tradition with an exceptional and sustainable design, and we have created unique and quality collections of bags, wallets, home and pet products, certified by PETA and eco friendly, which you can have access from the comfort of your home.

By using cork as raw material, we know that we’re contributing for a better and sustainable future, once the cork cyclic extraction, every nine years, promotes the self-regeneration of cork oak tree and consequently the vitality of cork oak forests, well known as Montados.

Beside the cork being a recyclable, ecological and renewable material, several studies indicate that the cork oak forests contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and survival of endangered species. Cork oak trees can also sequester up to 73 tons of CO2, reducing the potential of global warming.

Thus, it’s easy to understand that the cork industry has a sustainable future on its horizon, contributing to the maintenance of forests while responding to the needs of market demand.

We are moved by the knowledge that we drive our business forward, taking into account our ecological footprint, and that it’s within everyone's reach to make the right consumption choice.

The list of benefits that make cork such a special and unique raw material is long. We invite you to discover five reasons to choose cork products and find out how to analyze whether a product is sustainable or not.
