LISTEN ON:

A truly special story, not about wine, but about... cork! At the home of the world leader in cork production, we discover that this remarkable material means much more than bottle stoppers – from fashion to thermal shields for rockets, cork has countless uses.

Moreover, cork is a truly sustainable industry, with a significant negative carbon footprint – and ongoing research and innovation will further strengthen the company's “green” impact in the future.

In this episode, you’ll hear directly from Antonio Amorim, president and CEO of the company:

- why cork makes the world a better place,

- what surprising applications cork has,

- how success in Eastern Europe 50 years ago helped Amorim become a global leader,

- what sustainability, innovation, and circularity mean in the cork industry.
