Nomacorc protects wine better than other types of cork or caps.

Nomacorc ensures ideal taste

• Nomacorc eliminates the potential of moldy odors and off-flavors caused by cork taint, which is common in wines closed with natural cork
• The advanced technology used to manufacture a Nomacorc creates highly consistent corks that protect wine and ensure it tastes the same from one bottle to the next
• The unique outer skin of a Nomacorc creates a tight seal with the neck of the wine bottle and protects wine against leakage and damage from oxygen exposure
• The inner foam core of a Nomacorc regulates oxygen flow to the wine and allows the wine to breathe properly, unlike other closure options
• Nomacorc corks are easy to remove from the bottle as natural corks but don’t break and crumble into the wine

Nomacorc is a major global cork producer

• We’re the second largest closure manufacturer in the world
• One-third of all the bottles of wine sold in the United States are sealed with a co-extruded synthetic cork; One in five bottles in France and Germany are sealed with a Nomacorc
• Nomacorc manufactures more than 2 billion corks a year; about 5 million corks are made each day; over 60 corks per second
• Nomacorc manufactured 10 billion corks in its first ten years – enough to reach from Earth to the moon when placed end-to-end
• In one year, Nomacorc made more than 2 billion corks at its U.S. plant, enough to circle the earth 2 times

Nomacorc cares about the environment

• Nomacorcs are 100% recyclable
• Nomacorc uses up to four times less energy in production than natural cork manufacturers
• Nomacorc uses up to 200 times less water in production than natural cork manufacturers
• Nomacorc partners with TerraCycle, a company which collects and “upcycles” corks and many other used packaging to create environmentally-responsible consumer products
• Nomacorc eliminated 297 tons of CO2 emissions in the U.S. (the equivalent of removing 235 cars from U.S. highways) in the first ten months of 2009
