Sustainable
Cork has been harvested for centuries and is one of the finest examples of traditional, sustainable land use that offers a viable livelihood for future generations. The cork oak landscapes help reduce greenhouse gases because the trees store large amounts of carbon, especially in their early years, which is when they grow the fastest. Cork oak trees store carbon in order to regenerate their bark, and a harvested tree absorbs up to five times more carbon than a non-harvested tree.
Responsible Sourcing
APC Cork will ensure that the supply of raw material does not come from controversial sources such as: 1) Forests operated illegally or in violation of civil and traditional rights 2) High Conservation Value Forests threatened by management activities 3) Forests in the process of conversion to plantations or non-forest use 4) Forests where trees are genetically modified.
