Their Impact
With sustainability and eco-friendliness in mind, REDIVIVUS' products don't decrease the number of cork trees. The cork fabric that makes up all their goods are all-natural and recyclable. Cork is also 100% biodegradable.
Harvesting cork also does not damage the trees wherein they are not cut down, but instead pried of their outside layer. When harvesting the cork, laborers take great care to ensure that living part of the tree is not damaged. Thus, their environmental footprint is minimal.
