Score One For Corks In The Screwcap Versus Cork Debate {Luxist}

Jul 26th 2007 4:14PM The study did not take into account the CO2 that is sequestered by the tree which can live up to 200 years. Nor the fact that everytime the bark is peeled the tree grows new bark and sequesters even more CO2. So I suspect it is far more than the cheeseburger analogy. It also did not address the issue that SC are manufactured from FINITE materials that must be mined from the earth while cork will be available as long as we manage the forests well.
