For over 25 years, Artimestieri has been promoting the "Salva il Tappo!" campaign for the collection of used cork stoppers, which now extends to 2, 000 collection points throughout Italy, with an annual yield of 120 tons. The recovery and processing of cork stoppers, transformed into cork granules used as thermal insulation, enable an annual reduction of approximately 400 tons of CO2. In 2022, the portal www.sughero.org was launched to simplify collection and logistics, counting 18 million stoppers in 2023.

Due to its significant social and environmental value, the Salva il Tappo! campaign is increasingly recognized: in schools and public institutions to promote education on circular economy and environmental sustainability; in associations and cooperatives as a means of inclusion; and among private citizens who, with a simple gesture, can create a substantial impact.

The cork collection campaign engages hundreds of volunteer associations and social cooperatives daily, providing work and dignity to thousands of disadvantaged individuals. It also serves as an excellent educational tool to raise awareness among students of all ages about the issues of circular economy, recycling, and climate change, offering young people the opportunity to take concrete action for a sustainable economy and a cleaner, more peaceful future.
