The Eco-Friendly Trend: Cork

Trend Guide | Cork

The versatile, eco-friendly material, cork has actually been having something of a moment over the past few years. It turns out that the spongy thing that stands between you and your rosé also fits in very well in a variety of other lifestyle items.

Not only does cork lend a rustic, visually-pleasing aesthetic to everything from mugs to flooring, it's also super good for that planet that you're on right now. Cork is one of the most eco-friendly resources on the planet. It's naturally harvested from cork oak trees, but since only the bark is needed, the trees continue to live, grow, and clean the air. These aren't a bunch of flash-in-the-pan resources, either; Cork oak trees can live up to 300 years.
