" Cork is 100 % natural and renewable , and across a 200-year lifespan , a typical cork oak tree is harvested 15 times without damage to the tree . It simply regenerates after each extraction . These cork oak forests occupy 2 million hectares in the Mediterranean basin - of which Recork flooring comes from the Portuguese Montado . A cultural landscape , economically supporting 100,000 people through agriculture , cattle breeding , plant harvesting and hunting , in addition to cork production .”
