Hello! How can we help you?
What is BioKork?
Ergon GP1 BioKork Rollator Handles provide ultimate ergonomics for the hand. However, the unique qualities of cork mean that it is now antibacterial and hypoallergenic. Cork’s natural damping qualities also make it an ideal rollator grip material, and its low density means that the grip is a lot lighter. The Ergon GP1 BioKork Rollator Grips use 40% cork sourced from sustainable forests in Portugal which are certified for their ecologically sound production. This ecological theme is continued throughout the rest of the grip. The inner core is plastic reinforced using natural fibre, which makes up 40% of its mass. In place of mineral oil, the gel in the palm section of the grip is vegetable oil based. The Ergon GP1 BioKork Rollator grip clamp can also be 100% recycled. It is all a result of Ergon’s “GreenLab” initiative.
“The cork provides a soft feel without being crumbly, slippery or mushy, even after lots of time in the rain.”
The grips are designed to be a more environmentally conscious option, and supporting cork forest management is a good thing.
The material in the BioCork is made of; 30% Plant Material in the Palm Area, 40% Biowert Grass Fibre in the Grip Core, 100% Recyclable Aluminium Clamp, and 40% Cork from Sustainable Forests.
