		In a world of growing environmental awareness, the cork oak survives without the use of chemical herbicides, fertilisers or irrigation. Moreover, it's the only tree that regenerates after harvesting. Cork is harvested in steady cycles that promote healthy growth of the tree over its life span of 150 to 200 years. Each cork oak provides an average of 16 bark strippings. Download -- 3.9MB Copyright 2006 by APCOR.
