The process to achieve animal leather causes extreme CO2 emissions, whereas, QURC uses cork. All of the raw materials and final products are sourced and manufactured within the same country, avoiding further CO2 emissions in transportation.
Harvested cork trees absorb 3-5 times more CO2 than non-harvested trees. Cork oak trees in Portugal help offset 10 million tons of carbon every year and harvesting is a process during which not a single tree is cut down.
