Score One For Corks In The Screwcap Versus Cork Debate {Luxist}
Jul 31st 2007 7:34PM Just to clarify, the study refers to the tons of C02 generated by the
production of 1 million of each of the three closures in the study.
Yes, a cork or a DIAM closure weigh more than a screwcap but that
does not matter with the methodology the company used with the study.
Bottom line, screwcaps are worse than either of the two other closures
in terms of carbon emissions and more importantly, are not made from a
renewable resource like cork. Best of all, the DIAM closure is made
from cork that has been cleaned using super critical C02 and has no
measurable TCA period.
