Increasing Applications Of Cork Oak Stopper To Bolster European Markets : Ken Research


According to the study “Europe Cork Oak Stopper Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, cork oak forests are home to endangered species and are being protected and valued due to the centuries old demand for corks in the wine industry. However, the increasingly popular use of alternative bottle stoppers has threatened the environment and economically sustainable cork oak industry that leaves cork forests unprotected. Cork oak forests are found in Portugal, Spain, Algeria, Morocco, Italy, Tunisia, and France. The harvesting of cork oak is the finest examples of traditional and sustainable land use. Cork oak stopper is a narrow stopper used to plug wine, spirit bottles, and or lab flask, to avoid any leakage. These stoppers are moisture resistant and are also chemically inert. Various cork stoppers range from premium natural cork, agglomerated cork or the mixtures of two or more material are manufactured based on the requirement. The natural cork oak stoppers are the best stoppers for ageing of premium wines. These stoppers allow the right amount of oxygen in contact with wines, thereby, adding the desired flavour and aroma to the wines.
Cork is a material obtained from tree and is used as stoppers for majority of the bottle, especially wine bottles. All the cork oak plantations are typical species that can survive in the western Mediterranean region for an average of 200 years. Cork oak is 100% natural, recyclable, reusable and renewable material. Cork oak raw material is harvested from cork oak in late spring or summer. It is the only plant species on Earth capable of producing corks in a sustainable manner with quality. Therefore, cork oak is a unique industry in the world that helps in the preservation of the flora and fauna. Cork oak trees possess voluminous bark, good longevity of wood and an enormous capacity for regeneration. The outer bark of cork oak tree is homogeneous, formed by an impermeable, elastic tissue which possesses thermal insulating properties. Cork is extracted from tree bark which is removed without damaging the tree and enables regeneration. Cork oak tree is also considered as the most endangered and emblematic species in the world. The cork oak bark renews itself after harvesting and no trees are cut down.

Cork oak consists of properties such as high buoyancy, elasticity, and flame retardant property. Cork oak material is impermeable and moisture resistant; thus, cork oak stoppers are employed as stoppers in the storage of acids in laboratories.
