Circular economy FOLLOWING CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES We give materials a new life by creating new products while taking care of the planet. Raw materials / Industrial symbiosis To produce our cork decking solutions, we guarantee full utilization of harvested material, ensuring that, just as in Nature, nothing is lost and everything is transformed. Nothing is lost. Everything is transformed. Residual waste Over 60% of our energy needs are met through use of biomass (cork dust), which is a CO2 neutral source of energy. Even the smallest cork granules are used as a valuable energy source.
