Cork is known for its unique thermal and acoustic insulation properties and is widely used in the construction of houses and buildings. In addition, its ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere helps to reduce its carbon footprint, making this material an asset in construction projects. However, the benefits of cork go beyond the construction sector since this material can be transformed into decorative pieces and other functional objects for the Habitat value chain!
Another important aspect of cork is its potential for preserving biodiversity. Cork oak forests, the trees from which cork is extracted, are essential habitats for various species of plants and animals, contributing to nature conservation.
On this National Cork Day, tCluster Habitat Sustentável is reinforcing its support for the cork industry, promoting its use for the various purposes that this versatile and sustainable material can fulfil.
Cluster Habitat Sustentável is actively involved in various actions to mobilise for the preservation of the planet.
