DIY Insulating Cork Placemat

DIY Insulating Cork Placemat

By Sam Biddle on June 22, 2009

The Salvamanteles Bakus from Ciclus aims to curb dining waste by converting discarded bottle corks into an insulating countertop mat. One simply takes leftover corks and sticks them atop the spiked metal tray, filling in the surface and replacing worn out corks as needed. The modular design means the insulating surface itself will never wear out—provided the owner continues to imbibe—making the Salvamanteles Bakus far more reasonable (and affordable) than similar pre-manufactured kitchen mats.
