Cork is a special material that Life in a Bag has chosen to create sustainable cork products. But why is it so good?
🌳 1. 100% Sustainable Material
• Cork is harvested from the cork oak (Quercus suber) without harming the tree – the bark regenerates every 9-12 years.
• Portugal produces over 50% of the world's cork, making it a local resource with low logistical impact.
♻️ 2. Biodegradable and Recyclable
• It can be composted or repurposed into new products after use.
• Zero waste: Even production scraps are utilized.
🛡️ 3. Resistant and Durable
• Impermeable to liquids and gases.
• Resistant to extreme temperatures and wear.
🌿 4. Unique Natural Properties
• Hypoallergenic (ideal for allergy sufferers).
• Naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
đź’ˇ 5. Versatile Design
• It can be shaped into multiple forms – from pots like the Grow Cork to cubes with magnets like the Grow Cube.
