Sustainability Summary
- This is an unclaimed profile. CorkHouse has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
CorkHouse, operating as Jelinek Cork Store USA, presents cork as a material sourced from the forest level to the final product. The company says it has supplied cork to trade and wholesale markets for more than 150 years and describes itself as one of the oldest continually active cork companies in the world, established in 1855. Its sustainability content focuses on the cork oak tree, the harvesting process, and the environmental characteristics of cork. The site states that cork bark harvesting does not harm the tree when done with care and precision, and that the tree can regrow its bark after harvesting. It also highlights cork as a sustainable resource and notes that the tree increases the amount of CO2 it absorbs when bark is harvested.
