Cork grows a lot faster than wood. It is harvested by carefully removing the bark of the cork oak tree, the tree itself continues to grow and regenerates the outer back in a couple of years. That is why this material is considered more sustainable than wood.

Cork has leather-like properties and is sometimes viewed as an alternative to PVC in fashion industry. It is waterproof, light, elastic and compressible, provides thermal and acoustic insulation, it is a fire retardant. 

Cork is completely recyclable and renewable.
