The Fascinating Story of our Cork Bags 🤩

Cork is the bark of the cork oak, which is extracted every 9 years to grow healthy 🌳
This process is done only by trained professionals without the use of heavy machinery, so it doesn’t hurt the tree 👷‍♂
This process not only doesn’t harm the tree, it’s actually good for them. Stripping a cork oak of its bark also enhances the ability to absorb carbon dioxide; the seven million acres of cork forest around the Mediterranean offset 20 million tons of CO2 each year 💚🌍
