The Cork Factory
Cork is made by harvesting the water-resistant cells that separate the outside Cork Oak Tree’s bark from the inside. The process is called uncorking and doesn’t harm the tree or interfere with its natural development. The bark first boiled to soften it and then moulded into shape.

Our Cork Range
We use cork as part of the packaging for A Good Humanium Metal Pen, our pen made from metal from recycled illegal firearms. The money raised from the sale of the pen goes to projects that tackle violent crime in developing countries.
