Is cork a renewable resource

Answer 1

Yes, cork comes from the bark of the Cork Oak Tree, Quercus suber. which is native to southern Europe and Northern Africa.

Another variety, Quercus variabilis, is native to China, Japan and Korea.

Answer 2

Yes it is... provided it's harvested properly. Cork is the bark of certain trees. You can 'harvest' large chunks of bark - so long as you don't peel the whole circumference around the trunk of the tree.
