At present, in the world, especially in the UK, a real move is being taken to reduce the amount of plastic used for packaging and especially for food and beverage occupations; The fact that we dump 8 million tons of plastic into the ocean every year has begun to attract customers' attention, and there is a real demand for plastic substitutes in our daily life.


The natural cork used for wine and other drinks is a good example, which shows how customers can easily choose to cut the use of plastics - natural cork is one of the environmentally friendly products on earth, but many wine producers still insist on using aluminum nuts, fake plastic cork plugs (generally planned to look like real cork plugs) or defective cork plugs (but not as good as natural cork plugs), It contains about 30% polyurethane adhesive non biodegradable agent.


If customers are more aware that their choice is natural cork and composite or semi composite cork (such as agglomerated cork), you will feel that you prefer natural cork. Of course, this is valuable – natural wine corks may be more expensive, while agglomerated corks or plastic corks may be cheaper. However, if the information about the impact of plastics and aluminum on the environment is grasped, customers should be more willing to make their own choices for environmental protection.


The professional demand for cork has become part of the debate on the use of more natural materials in packaging, and by providing customers with more information about natural cork, they are encouraged to choose wine bottles sealed with natural cork.
