Harvesters strip the outer bark by hand, and the tree grows a new layer. Portuguese law requires at least 9 years between harvests on the same tree. Portugal produces more cork than anywhere else in the world, and that’s where ours comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCork is naturally full of suberin, a waxy, water-repellent compound. That’s why it holds up in humid enclosures where ordinary wood softens and rots. It’s also very light, so it won’t crush animals or crack acrylic or glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s in the bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 lb of assorted cork flats in mixed sizes and shapes, packed into a gallon bag.
