Circular economies are gaining momentum as businesses and individuals recognize the importance of recycling and reusing materials to reduce environmental impact. Mike Baker, the founder of SOLE, a company specializing in custom insoles and footwear, saw an opportunity to recycle cork and launched the ReCORK collection network over 15 years ago.

Since its inception in 2008, ReCORK has recycled an impressive 132 million wine corks and planted over 8,000 cork trees. This initiative is part of SOLE’s broader mission to promote sustainability and reduce environmental harm. Recently, ReCORK contributed an article to Earth911, highlighting the benefits of recycling cork to replace petroleum-based polymers and foams.

One of the key aspects of a successful circular economy is the partnership between manufacturers, consumers, and recycling programs. ReCORK has made recycling more accessible by placing collection bins in bars, liquor stores, and other locations. Mike Baker emphasizes the importance of careful material management and designing products for easy deconstruction to create reusable feedstock for future products.

Transparency is crucial in the circular economy, and sharing the journey of recycled materials with the public helps build confidence in recycling efforts. By educating consumers about the process and showing them that their contributions make a difference, ReCORK and SOLE are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
