Cork is a natural resource with ideal properties.
It is lightweight, flexible, absorbs minimal amounts of water, and has an antibacterial quality. It takes only a decade for the cork oak tree to develop a layer of useable cork. The cork bark is carefully removed so the tree trunk won't be damaged. It takes 30-40 years for a tree to yield its first harvest. Depending upon the use, granules are sorted by 3-4 weight classes.
