Our Approach

At Corkular, we believe in turning everyday waste into meaningful solutions. Our process begins with a commitment to sustainability and a partnership with the local community, transforming waste into eco-friendly products that add purpose and natural elegance to your home. Here’s how it works:

1. Collecting

Our journey starts in the heart of Barcelona, where we partner with local restaurants to give wine corks a second life. Instead of discarding them, restaurant owners separate used corks into designated boxes provided by us. Every 2-3 weeks, we visit these establishments to collect the corks, creating a simple yet effective recycling system. This collaboration not only reduces waste but also inspires eco-conscious habits within the community.

2. Recycle

Once the corks are collected, they go through a careful recycling process. Each cork is thoroughly cleaned to ensure quality and hygiene, then shredded into smaller pieces. These pieces are pressed together to form a durable and reusable material, perfect for creating sustainable products.

3. Make It Reusable

The recycled cork material becomes the foundation of our innovative designs. We ensure that every piece is crafted to meet high standards of functionality and style. By repurposing corks into versatile, eco-friendly products, we minimize waste while maximizing value.

4. Distribute

The finished products are then distributed, ready to make their way into homes across the globe. Each piece represents a step toward a more sustainable future—while adding a unique and meaningful touch to your home.

5. In Your Own Home

The journey of every cork comes full circle when it finds its way into your home. These products not only enhance your living space but also carry a story of renewal, sustainability, and the vibrant culture of Barcelona’s dining scene.

Through this process, Corkular is redefining how materials are reused, proving that even the smallest changes can have a big impact. From local restaurants to your home, every cork is part of a circular journey toward a greener, more sustainable future.
