SupremeCorqs are
recyclable. To produce food contact grade quality plastic, a variety
of basic compounds such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are
extracted from natural materials such as petroleum, coal and natural
gas. These materials are combined together in a variety of sophisticated
ways to produce different types of high quality recyclable plastics.
SupremeCorq's raw
material is designated as "other" or "number 7". This type of plastic
is accepted by recyclers in areas where there is enough demand to justify
it. We have established recycling programs in areas where there is sufficient
demand. Supreme Corq recycles all scrap material.
SupremeCorqs can
also be used as keychains and pencil erasers. SupremeCorqs can be reused
in the tasting room or at home to reseal the bottle. However, we do
not recommend that, once corqs are extracted, a SupremeCorq be used
to seal a new bottle of wine.
