ALL IN on Cork

Our Cork Story

In our journey to further our sustainability efforts, we introduced Era in 2018 with a cork handle. Over the past 6+ years, we’ve only grown to love cork more. Because of its unwavering popularity with our Era customers, we’ve made the decision to go ALL IN with CORK. Starting with our 2024 collection, all Bumbleride stroller models are designed with a cork handle.

 

CORK: An unequaled material, supporting biodiversity and positive for climate change.

 

Cork comes from the outer bark of the cork oak tree. These trees grow in the Mediterranean and Eastern Asia due to climate and types of soil produced in these areas. Harvesting cork does not damage the trees; it regenerates naturally and is considered the most environmentally friendly practice in the world. There is zero waste in cork harvesting. Every part of the cork bark is used in manufacturing.

Cork trees produce Suberin which adds to the versatility and functionality of the cork. This allows it to resist moisture and mildew.

 

Cork is used in many high use applications including trekking pole handles, fishing rod handles, toys, shoes, insulation, flooring, yoga mats, etc. It is a versatile resource straight from nature that is very easy to maintain. We are proud to add cork to our list of sustainable materials.
