About Us

CORKCLUB is a sustainability initiative funded by WIDGETCO to benefit Forest and Ocean Conservation. WIDGETCO has been a leading wine cork recycler since 2007. Our objective is to increase the wine cork recycling by collecting your corks and donating money to help preserve the Earth. You enjoy the wine and CORKCLUB recycles your corks. For each natural cork received, we donate 2 cents each (less shipping and carbon offsets). For each synthetic cork we receive, we see it gets recycled. It's a simple project with an ambitious goal, to help recycled every wine cork while benefiting Forest and Ocean Conservation.

Our History

CORKCLUB is a wine cork recycling initiative founded by WIDGETCO, a privately held company, and pioneer in the wine cork recycling movement. Years ago, we understood that a lot of used wine corks were thrown away while many were being saved by wine lovers. Recognizing something beautiful in used wine corks, we began sourcing and supplying these corks to crafters, builders, artists and others who created many exciting things. A builder used them to construct a floor in a wine cellar in Beverly Hills (must be nice). An italian restaurant owner in New Jersey covered a ceiling in corks.  He saved his corks for 10 years and ran out half way through the ceiling installation!  We were there to help.  An artist created an art car covered in corks. Another artist makes beautiful portraits. Crafters create incredible projects like dart boards, coasters and even tiny succulent planters. You name it? It can probably be done with cork.

WidgetCo, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of many cork, metal, plastic, rubber and wood products to companies and private individuals worldwide. Environmental stewardship is a core philosophy at WidgetCo. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and are advancing programs to reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle. WidgetCo, Inc. has already recycled millions of wine corks and contributed over $100,000 to charities and non-profits. We are proud to create CorkClub to further advance our wine cork recycling efforts. Together we can help Earth!
