Cork, (eco)logical choice?

A cork is no longer just a synonymous for wine corks. We can meet with a usage of this material in many areas and fashion industry is not an exception. It's getting more popular all over the world also because of it's eco-friendly. The cork is extracted from cork oaks which are planted in the Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean and North Africa, but more than 50% of a world production comes from Portugal. As soon as a bark is thick enough, which is approximately after 25 years, it is possible to harvested it carefully and use for futher processing. Then we can cut off a bark from the same tree every 9 years and the trees commonly live over 200 years. The cork oaks are also amazing because they significantly help to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere.
