3 November 2020, VANCOUVER, BC -- As consumers increasingly list environmental sustainability and social issues as important considerations when purchasing products, retailers are taking action. ChopValue’s products will now be available under the expanding Nordstrom at Home category that helps to make more sustainable products, including home decor, easier to find and shop through its Sustainable Style section.

With offerings such as the Cheese and Charcuterie Set for easy entertaining, Zero Waste Kit for the perfect housewarming gift, and the best-selling hexagonal Wall Decor for making virtual call backdrops beautiful, Nordstrom provides an outlet for conscious consumers to feel great about what they buy. 

“Our team is thankful for forward-thinking retailers like Nordstrom who are making a commitment towards meaningful progress for the betterment of our communities and environment,” says Felix Böck, Founder and CEO of ChopValue. “We are excited to make our products more accessible to customers in North America, who can also touch and feel our items in person to understand how durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing the transformation of neglected resources can be. We approached our product offering with the collaborative mindset, From Landfill to Luxury, for the great and open-minded team at Nordstrom.” 

To date, ChopValue has recycled over 30 million chopsticks into an innovative engineered composite material to create beautiful and sustainable furniture and homeware products. 

Now available online at nordstrom.com and in 74 store locations within North America, customers can visit Nordstrom stores to see how disposable chopsticks have much more value than just a tool for eating delicious meals.
