| * Cork insulation is a key element, as it is harvested without cutting down trees, making it a highly renewable resource. It also absorbs carbon dioxide during its lifecycle and is fully recyclable and biodegradable. In addition, cork provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, which reduces the need for extra energy use inside the capsule. | * Cork insulation is a key element, as it is harvested without cutting down trees, making it a highly renewable resource.

| * Wooden framing and plywood components are also renewable and have a low carbon footprint. Wood stores carbon throughout its life and can be reused or recycled at the end of its use. Flexible plywood was specifically chosen for the shell because it allows curved shapes with minimal material waste, which is ideal for the capsule’s form. | * Wooden framing and plywood components are also renewable and have a low carbon footprint.
