Cork Grapes
Wine lovers can feel even better knowing every part of the bottle will be recycled. Used natural wine corks collected at the Return-It Boucherie Self Storage and Bottle Depot in Kelowna will be recycled into eco-friendly footwear. The initiative is a partnership between Return-It, the wine cork recycler ReCORK, and SOLE, a manufacturer of sustainable footwear.
“We recognized an opportunity to collect this useful material, and work with processing and manufacturing partners to give it a new life,” said Allen Langdon, President and CEO of Return-It.
