Cork is derived from the bark of the cork oak tree. Only the bark. These precious trees are not cut down, period. They can live for up to two centuries before needing to be replaced. The bark is peeled every decade or so and the tree is left alone to regenerate. Cork trees are protected by law, especially in the highest cork producing country Portugal. In the Mediterranean where the largest forests exist, you’ve already got mass production. Environmentally these forests provide a balanced bio-system to help preserve land and water.

The same air cells also work as a barrier to reduce the amount of noise that travels through walls and floors, cutting up to 10 decibels in a 3mm thick application.
