What Exactly is ThermaCork?
Originating from the bark of the Quercus suber oak in Portugal—home to over 55% of global cork production—ThermaCork stands as a testament to sustainability. This 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable material is not only recyclable but also a proud symbol of Portuguese national heritage. As one of the most adaptable and longstanding building materials, cork's resurgence in eco-conscious construction highlights its versatility and increasing popularity.
Cork Forests: Crucibles of Environmental Stewardship
The cork forests of the western Mediterranean are critical biodiversity sanctuaries, supporting various indigenous and endangered species. These forests prevent desertification, act as natural firebreaks, and are significant carbon sinks, sequestering approximately 4.8 million tons of CO2 annually in Portugal alone. This remarkable ability underscores the environmental importance of cork forests as more than just material sources.
