Cork granules
Cork granules are small particles derived from the bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber), a renewable and sustainable resource harvested every 9–12 years without harming the tree. They are produced by grinding cork bark into various sizes, ranging from fine powder (cork dust) to larger granules (0.2–12 mm), and sorted by density (45–250 kg/m³) to suit specific applications. The granules retain cork’s natural properties: lightweight, flexible, moisture-resistant, and excellent thermal and acoustic insulation due to tiny air pockets within the material.
Cork granules are a versatile, sustainable material with growing popularity in eco-conscious applications, replacing synthetic alternatives like plastic or rubber in many industries.
Portugaliacork has successfully developed two distinct brands that cater to specific markets. The first, Eco Cork Infill, specializes in offering high-quality cork granules that are specially designed for use in construction of sports fields. The second brand, Cork Playground, focuses on supplying safe and environmentally friendly cork granules specifically designed for children’s playgrounds surfaces. These granules ensure a soft landing for kids while also being sustainable and eco-friendly, promoting both play and safety in outdoor environments. Together, these brands represent Portugaliacork’s commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility in the production of cork products.

Virgin cork and cork wood
Virgin cork is obtained only during the very first harvest of the cork tree, also known as Quercus suber, and it boasts a distinctly natural appearance and texture that is highly sought after. As a material that is 100% natural and eco-friendly, raw cork serves as an exceptional option for decorative applications, particularly in terrariums designed for reptiles, spiders, and various other animals. This unique material plays a vital role in helping to simulate their natural tropical rainforest environments, ensuring that these creatures feel more at home in their habitats. In addition to its fantastic use in terrariums, virgin cork is also an excellent choice for use in gardens, where it can enhance the overall aesthetics and functionality, as well as in various interior design projects that aim to bring a touch of nature indoors. Its versatility and appeal make virgin cork a favored material among designers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Cork rolls and sheets
Cork rolls and sheets are incredibly versatile and sustainable materials that are widely utilized in the construction sector due to their outstanding thermal, acoustic, and vibration insulation properties. These materials not only offer exceptional performance but also possess an eco-friendly and durable nature, making them a highly sought-after choice among builders and architects alike. Derived from the bark of cork oak trees (Quercus suber), cork products are renewable, biodegradable, and play a significant role in carbon sequestration. This unique characteristic positions them as ideal materials for green building projects, allowing for environmentally-conscious construction practices. In addition to their insulation benefits, cork rolls and sheets contribute to improved air quality and reduce energy consumption in buildings, further enhancing their value and appeal in sustainable development initiatives. As awareness of environmental issues increases, the demand for cork materials in construction continues to rise, paving the way for innovation and growth within the industry.

Cork fashion is not just a stylish option; it is a thoughtful and ethical choice that artfully blends functionality with a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. This innovative approach is gaining significant traction in both mainstream and luxury markets, as consumers increasingly seek sustainable alternatives in their fashion and design choices. Portugaliacork proudly owns the Corklane brand, which specializes in creating exquisite sustainable bags, wallets, and purses that utilize vegan materials, including the unique and versatile Portuguese cork fabric.
