THE PROCESS

Plakton is the brand that cares for nature. Since 1995, cork has been the base material that we use in almost every product we make. We continually strive to make products that are comfortable, ergonomic and natural, without upsetting the balance of nature. The harvesting of the cork oak is an ancient process that can only (and should only) be done by experts: the descortiçadores. Their skill and decades of experience are required to harvest the cork and avoid damaging the trees.
