Since the World Economic Forum has highlighted ChopValue's Microfactory concept in 2021 as the blueprint for scaling manufacturing responsibly, we've experienced a surge in demand for climate positive products — manufactured responsibly, as local as possible. With conventional businesses experiencing continued supply chain issues and providing a lack of transparency in pricing, transportation, and origin, we are proud to challenge the norm with our commitment to local manufacturing on a global scale. Our initial operations have since strategically expanded to our network of 84 Microfactories in development, showcasing a viable and sustainable path for accelerated growth.

Given the World Economic Forum's projection of $4.5 trillion in economic benefits from the circular economy by 2030, we are proud to set the new standard for manufacturing with our “waste” to “resource” Microfactory concept, creating a positive, tangible impact for our people, our clients, and our planet.

5 ways our Microfactories excel in sustainability and efficiency:

1. Circular DNA for maximum positive impact

• The annual climate impact of one Microfactory is substantial
• Each Microfactory has the waste to product conversion potential of -74,752 kg
• And the climate impact of -1,213,075 kgCO2 emissions saving potential
• There is also no water usage in our production process

2. Local manufacturing and job creation

• As other factories embrace automation and AI to integrate cutting-edge technologies, it's crucial to question how these concepts contribute to socio-economic development.
• Our Microfactory creates a positive socio-economic impact by hiring local woodworkers, generating wealth and jobs for the community.

3. Cost effective and time efficient

• Microfactory operations are more nimble, meaning quicker lead times
• Our global network of Microfactories can serve each of their communities as local as possible
• Local production also saves customers on logistics costs 

4. Modular approach to manufacturing

• The modular nature of Microfactories means the hardware, software, and infrastructure are standardized
• Compared to the intricate, specialized production lines of larger factories, this simplifies new product innovation, making them quicker and more straightforward from idea to launch

5. Increased customization

• Micro-manufacturing allows for the flexibility of highly personalized products, a demand that larger facilities may struggle to fulfill on scale

Our global Microfactories are creating a climate positive future through responsible manufacturing practices. They serve as a blueprint for implementing reverse logistics in our urban environments. We’re scaling a circular ecosystem to build a sustainable tomorrow.
