Amorim Cork

Following the strategy of continuous innovation and development that is part of Amorim Cork's DNA, the state-of-the-art Xpür® micro-granulated cork stoppers were launched to preserve the wine’s freshness and intrinsic quality over time. Xpür® offers the highest percentage of cork of all micro-granulated stoppers: 98% cork (by volume) or 82% (by weight), with no need to use microspheres. This controlled chemical load guarantees a higher sensorial neutrality and a more positive wine evolution in bottle. #AmorimCork #AmorimCorkStoppers #Xpür #Sustainability #Innovation #WineClosure

It is a model of practices, a model in research and innovation, and, let’s face it, a force.

Portugal's cork forests are vital carbon sinks. Well-managed cork oak forests can sequester significant amounts of CO2, with estimates suggesting up to 73 ton of CO2 for each ton of cork produced. As climate change looms, the resilience of cork oak trees is more important than ever. Cork's sustainability extends beyond its production. Its use in various industries can contribute to climate change mitigation, making it a crucial ally to foster a transition to a more climate-friendly economy. Preserving cork forests is not just about sustaining an industry — it's about ensuring a greener future for our planet. For more details, read the full article at https://lnkd.in/dwpEnu4G

Cork stands as one of nature's most extraordinary gifts. It is a special raw material whose unique combination of properties has yet to be matched by any human-made product. 100% biodegradable, recyclable and renewable, cork is incredibly light, impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic, compressible and resilient. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, acts as a natural fire retardant and is extremely resistant to abrasion. It's not just a material - it's a testament to our commitment to a sustainable future. 🌱 #AmorimCork #AmorimCorkStoppers #CorkOak #CorkForest #Sustainability
