What Are Agglomerate Wine Corks? | Jelinek Cork Canada

What are agglomerate (agglo) wine corks?

Agglomerated wine corks are made from cork granules sourced from the bark of the cork oak tree. These granules are often derived from offcuts and recycled material produced during natural cork manufacturing, making agglomerated corks a sustainable use of cork material. The granules are bound together using a food-safe binder and formed into corks by either molding or extrusion.
