The present invention also relates to a process for conglutinating cork fragments, which comprises treating the cork fragments with a phenol oxidising enzyme. Preferred phenol oxidising enzymes are laccase, peroxidase, catechol oxidase. The treatment with a phenol oxidising enzyme prevents the use of environmentally harmful binders.</p> |
