Green infrastructure offers sustainable solutions to urban
environmental challenges, integrating natural processes
into built environments. Cork, a renewable and
biodegradable material harvested from the bark of cork
oak trees, presents promising applications in green
infrastructure. Its natural insulation properties, resistance
to moisture, and durability make it suitable for use in
green roofs, wall cladding, flooring, and soundproofing.
Cork's low carbon footprint and capacity for carbon
sequestration further enhance its ecological value. As
urban areas aim to reduce energy consumption and
mitigate the urban heat island effect, cork-based systems
contribute by improving thermal efficiency and
supporting biodiversity. Moreover, cork harvesting
promotes forest preservation and rural economies,
aligning environmental sustainability with socio-
economic benefits. Incorporating cork into green
infrastructure strategies exemplifies a circular economy
model, emphasizing renewable resources and minimal
waste. This paper explores cork’s potential to transform
urban design into more resilient, sustainable, and eco-
friendly systems through innovative green infrastructure
applications.
