Sustainability of Cork and Protective Systems
摘要
Cork is increasingly recognized for its unique combination of properties, including elasticity, compressibility, and shock absorption, which make it an exceptional material for impact protective systems. This chapter discusses the sustainability of cork, highlighting its environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and soil and water protection. Cork applications in impact protective systems are vast, including helmets, packaging, automotive components, and building materials. Cork offers a versatile and sustainable solution for impact protective systems, contributing to global sustainability goals and innovative protection solutions.
