Casa Verde: From Bottle to Building

Jul 7 2008 - 2:00pm

I like my Sancerre, my Sauvignon Blanc, and my Beaujolais Nouveau, and I have been known to drink wine from a box. Heck, I'll try any kind of wine [1] you pour. When all of these bottles are finished, and I toss them into my recycling bin [2], their corks don't land in the trash; I've been saving my corks for a few months now to make a wine cork mirror [3]. But if cork décor isn't your style, you can still recycle natural cork, thanks to ReCork America [4].ReCork America takes already used and overstock corks from the wine business, and then recycles them into flooring tiles, insulation [5], and other products. There are several locations [6] in California and the Pacific Northwest that are collecting used cork in their day-to-day business operations, and hopefully in the future there will be locations for public collection. Do you know of any cork collection programs in your neighborhood?
