At The Foot Collective (TFC), cork is more than just a material—it’s a testament to the power of sustainable, natural resources. We incorporate cork into our TFC SoleMate, Mobility Balls, and Beam Cradles, ensuring these products benefit from cork’s incredible properties while staying true to our commitment to sustainability. Here’s why we’re passionate about cork and why it’s the perfect choice for our products:
A Natural and Sustainable Wonder:
100% Natural and Biodegradable: Cork is derived from the bark of cork oak trees, making it a renewable and eco-friendly resource. The harvesting process doesn’t harm the tree; instead, it allows the bark to regenerate, contributing to the tree’s longevity.
Environmentally Friendly: Cork oak forests play a vital role in absorbing CO2, preserving biodiversity, and combating desertification, making cork a win for both nature and sustainability.
Built to Last:
Exceptional Durability: Cork’s honeycomb cellular structure gives it unparalleled strength and resilience. It’s naturally resistant to wear and tear, ensuring our products stand the test of time.
Shock-Absorbing Properties: The unique structure, composed of 14-sided polyhedrons filled with 90% air, allows cork to compress to almost half its size and bounce back effortlessly. This makes it nature’s ultimate shock absorber.
A Material with Added Benefits:
Anti-Allergenic: Cork is naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and dust mites, making it ideal for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.
Waterproof and Fire-Resistant: These properties add an extra layer of functionality, ensuring cork remains reliable in various conditions.
Ethically Sourced:
We source our cork ethically from Spain, ensuring that every piece we use aligns with our commitment to sustainability and responsible production practices.
Why We Love Cork:
Cork embodies the perfect blend of functionality, sustainability, and natural beauty. By choosing cork, we’re not only delivering high-quality products but also contributing to a healthier planet. It’s nature’s gift to us, and we’re thrilled to share its benefits with you.
So, the next time you use a TFC product made with cork, know that you’re supporting a material that’s as innovative as it is environmentally friendly. Cork, we’re endlessly impressed by you! 🥰🌳🧡
