The six-month trial will involve 25 Northern California Whole Foods Market stores. Each store will have a convenient collection box situated in the wine department. Customers will be encouraged to add wine corks to their list of recyclable packaging.
Roger Archey, program manager for ReCORK, couldn't be more pleased with the partnership: "Whole Foods Market is a benchmark for environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices... We are pleased to be able to provide Whole Foods Market customers with a convenient recycling option that extends the useful life of corks for years to come."
