Over 31 billion bottles of wine are consumed worldwide every year. Unfortunately, the majority of the wine corks used end up in the trash. ReCORK™ sponsored by SOLE™ is here to change that with North America’s largest natural cork recycling initiative. ReCORK gives wine corks new life in the form of footwear and other upcycled products. The ReCORK initiative is based in the U.S. and has over 1800 collection partners. Learn more at recork.org.
