Qurkies blocks are made of a waste stream from the cork bottle stoppers industry. So yes, they are made of cork. Cork is a super susainable material. It is a real CO2 sponge and it's very easy to recycle.
Qurkies are invented by Ruud van den Heijkant, a Dutch product designer and a father of two.
Ecologic sense is not only expressed in the Qurkies blocks, but also in their packaging. They minimize material and avoid plastic. Their energy comes from solar panels and they deliver packages by bike.
In 2019, Qurkies was selected and certified by the Solar Impulse Foundation as 1 of 1000 beautiful sustainable product initiatives. We love it!
