Wine Cork Recycling
Corks are normally used to seal the freshness of wine bottles before people pop them up for drinking or servings. But once they are taken out, the usual route is for these corks to find their way towards the garbage can or some even keep them for remembrance.
But for some people, recycling these used corks can be used in different ways. For groups like ReCork America, they can find other ways to re-use these corks which range from floor tiles, building insulation, automotive gaskets, craft materials, soil conditioner and sports equipment. All it really takes is some creativity and imagination and you can recycle various items, corks in this case, to suit some new lifestyle needs.
Known as ReCORK America, the program is focused on obtaining used and surplus corks from winery tasting rooms, bottling lines and quality assurance laboratories. In addition, collection locations are being established with key retailers and restaurants in larger metropolitan areas. A list of current collection locations is available on this Web site. It should be emphasized that only natural cork is being accepted. No plastic or metal closures please.
