The cork oak tree is remarkable renewable resource as its bark can be harvested every 9 years without cause of any damage to the tree’s existence, or that of the environment. The majority of cork that is harvested is reserved to make bottle stoppers for the wine industry around the world accounting for around 60% of the market share. It is the waist that is where the cork engineered flooring industry comes from. This makes cork an excellent green building material to use in the home.
