"Synthetic Cork is made of thermodynamic elastomer which is a high quality food grade plastic. It's not very likely to offgas, grow mold etc, because of the high investment per bottle that winemakers put in. Great for insulation, fire resistant, etc...but still plastic.
Cork is used all the time even in it's virgin state for walls, ceilings and floors, so it apparently doesnt violate any safety codes. Superb insulator, sound proofer, joint protector, etc. However, it can be contaminated with mold but this is somewhat rare."
