Sole recycles millions of discarded wine corks into sustainable footwear

Although Sole has a big part in the effort to conserve virgin cork, it is the large network of partners involved that makes the program really effective. ReCork is sponsored by Amorim , the world’s largest cork producer located in Portugal. ReCork has added thousands of reclaim centers at restaurants, wine shops, and other venues, but Sole thinks it is most compelling when they have footwear re-sellers join in. “When a retailer can serve as a collection partner and then sell shoes made from the cork that was brought into their stores, it’s very self-fulfilling. And it’s a great story that retailers can bring to their customers.”
