The result is an energy-efficient building with minimal maintenance needs, built with strong environmental awareness. “Cork stands out as a renewable material with a negative carbon footprint and excellent durability. It's a choice that makes sense both technically and ethically,” the architect concludes.

The NRT®62 and NRT®62 VB Pre-attached Underlayment have a negative carbon balance of - 11.8 kg/eqCO₂ per m²* and - 10.5 kg/eqCO₂ per m²*, respectively, when taking into account the CO₂ sequestered by cork oak forests and the emissions associated with the industrial process.   *EY Study: Pre-attached underlayment NRT62…

Cork’s negative carbon footprint is clearly one of its key competitive advantages, mainly because in the Energy field we are talking about more environmentally friendly Energies and, therefore, cork, in addition to meeting all the technical requirements of the different applications, contributes to a better carbon bala…

The key factor in ensuring a negative carbon footprint is the genesis of the cork oak forest which is a carbon sink, responsible for retaining 73 tons of CO2 per ton of cork used for a typical application this corresponds to 2,7 kilotons of CO2 retention.

According to a recent assessment study conducted by EY, Go4cork Blend with Nike Grind has a negative carbon balance of -5.6kg CO2 eq/m2. This means that the product’s associated carbon sequestration promoted by the cork oak forest exceeds the CO2 emissions from production. The environmental footprint study of the Go4co…

Choice of cork as the dominant raw material for this innovative project is based on the fact that it is a 100% natural, sustainable and recyclable source material. These characteristics meant that the house had a was carbon-negative carbon footprint at completion. In other words, it absorbed more carbon dioxide than th…

Recognised for their acoustic and thermal properties, Acousticork by Amorim underscreeds were integrated into the hotel's construction to effectively reduce the transmission of impact noise between rooms, guaranteeing a quiet and comfortable environment for guests. Incorporating cork-based underscreeds into this type o…

Amorim NRT®62 cork components, with and without a vapor barrier, by Amorim Cork Solutions, that have been especially developed for the flooring industry, make a positive contribution to lowering the carbon footprint of flooring manufacturers’ production processes. This is because Amorim NRT®62 cork-based components hav…

Its negative carbon footprint, low thermal conductivity and sealing capacity, together with resistance to extreme temperatures and a high damping capacity are characteristics that make cork a raw material with enormous potential for this sector.  From electric mobility to wind and solar energy, Amorim Cork Solutions ex…

Finite‐element simulations of heat flux transfer confirmed that, for elevated temperatures, cork composite offers the lowest thermal penetration—making it a promising candidate for future wildfire‐proofing solutions. These findings reinforce the dual benefits of cork: its natural flame retardancy and its negative carbo…

According to the 2018 edition of the World Footwear Book, published by the Portuguese Footwear Industry Components Association - APICCAPS -, the shoe industry recorded positive worldwide sales in 2017. World footwear production grew in 2017, attaining production of 23.5 billion pairs of shoes, 2% higher than in 2016. H…

Ensuring transport sustainability is an increasing concern for companies and citizens. Global awareness of this concern has led car manufacturers to progressively choose raw materials that guarantee a symbiosis between performance and sustainability. The sector’s biggest companies are now investing in more environmenta…

According to a recent study conducted by the consultancy firm, EY, Acousticork T10 Essence and T10 Essence with a vapour barrier underlayments have a negative carbon balance of -18.6 kg CO₂ eq/ m2 and -18.0 kg CO₂ eq / m2, respectively. Acousticork T56 Endurance underlayment with a vapour barrier has a negative carbon…

Depending on the specific type of application, several materials in the market, with a synthetic or inorganic base, are competing with cork. Rubber- or foam-based materials have dominated the world market, since they combine performance with low costs. However, the situation has been changing over recent years, due to…
