Good For The Environment!

We live in a world that insists on knowing how the products we use are made. We want products we can feel good about, that use environmentally responsible processing methods, and will not harm our ecosystems. Which is how it should be. Often called "vegan leather," how cork fabric is made is a good example of an eco-friendly process that supports sustainable manufacturing and protects the environment. The process begins with harvesting bark from the cork oak tree using hand tools. The bark is then made into fabric using low-impact production methods and few chemicals, The result is a durable fabric that is resistant to water, mold and mildew, and is eco-friendly,. Cork fabric production is a win-win for everyone and you can find comfort in knowing it is good for the environment!
