Rubber comes from trees too and if there's ever a blight for those trees it would crash the global economy because rubber is so important to us, for example tires. Without rubber, cars, trucks, and planes would be useless until we find a suitable alternative. Synthetic rubber can't currently sustain the heat tires can get to.

Curious and beautiful facts about this industry and these trees (Quercus Sauber): - The trees that are peeled for cork, actualy tend to live much longer and stronger than the non-peeled ones. This is because removing the old dead bark every 9 years helps the tree to regenerate a better and stronger bark, therefore keeping the tree more healthy. Its a simbiose industry. - The first cork peeling of a tree is only made after the first 15 years of its life. Then, its repeated every 9 years. - Quality of cork bark improves with age (number of peelings in life). Basically, the older the tree, the better quality of the cork. This also shows how this industry helps the tree being more healthy. - In Portugal, these trees are called Sobreiro. Its the National tree by definition. They are protected by law and chopping down one of these trees can get you in real trouble.

Read that some farmers we're switching to plastic cork stoppers which was a problem for cork tree farmers. Cork trees do not catch fire as fast & are beneficial to delay forest fires from spreading...they are biodegradable thus environmentally-friendly....good to know they're still being made.
