Abstract (German)	Fluorinated water repellency textile finishes are toxic and need to be replaced. Bio-based materials can be non-toxic and degradable and are extremely interesting as a sustainable alternative. Here, we develop a new class of bio-based finishes derived from cork, a naturally water repellent material.
