Do your serve wine? Do you sell wine? Then you should offer wine cork recycling to your customers.
European wineries have been doing it for decades, and now recycling cork is catching on in the USA.
13 billions corks are produced annually. Most still end up in landfills. Cork can be recycled!
The cork from wine bottles can also be reused in many useful products. And I’m not talking about this idea.
If you enjoy reusing items then collect wine cork and make cork board or use it in other crafts projects.
