ChopValue Fuels International Expansion with 15 Location Multi-Unit Franchise Deal for Mexico

ChopValue Fuels International Expansion with 15 Location Multi-Unit Franchise Deal for Mexico

 

23 February 2022, VANCOUVER BC — ChopValue, the world’s first circular economy franchise manufacturing sustainable products made entirely from recycled chopsticks, is thrilled to announce the expansion into Mexico with a multi-unit franchise deal. This development advances their international footprint as they continue to expand globally, adding to recent Microfactory franchise partnerships in Europe and Asia. 

 

Arturo Katz, an Industrial Engineer who has also been in charge of his family’s garment factory business for over 10 years, will be bringing ChopValue Mexico to fruition. The fashion industry is known to create a vast amount of waste, and Katz wanted to break the cycle by taking responsibilities into his own hands and create a positive impact on the environment. “I have always believed that in order to make a change, you must start with yourself — be the change you wish to see in this world,” shares Katz. “Once I came across ChopValue and learned about their closed loop manufacturing process, it was an easy decision to begin the journey of bringing the waste-to-resource concept to Mexico.”

 

Katz will also be supported by key founding member Margarita Zepeda, who revolutionized the insurance industry in Mexico with WOOW, the first insurance and service marketplace for the country. The young businesswoman is eager to disrupt yet another industry, challenging the status quo of manufacturing with ChopValue’s method of local sourcing and production to lead a global change. “With ChopValue, we see a huge opportunity to lead by example,” says Zepeda. “Our goal is to show it’s possible to make this world a better place, one chopstick at a time.”

 

“Meeting Arturo and hearing his vision for ChopValue Mexico, I have no doubt that his team will have a successful path forward,” says Felix Böck, Founder and CEO of ChopValue. “I am extremely grateful as we expand quickly but effectively by partnering with the right mix of people who are purpose driven but come from seeing the problems in our existing industry standards first hand. We feel the relevance and the continuous need to propel our circular economy concept over new international borders.”

 

With a recent example of the Villanueva solar plant project completed, the largest photovoltaic installation in the Americas and second largest in the world, Mexico is demonstrating their commitment to a greener future while addressing the challenges of climate change and resource depletion. One of Mexico’s leading government environmental policies is the “Basura Cero” program that focuses on the management of single use items. Due to the pandemic and the encouragement of single use items for the public’s health and safety, the program has not made successful progress. ChopValue Mexico is strongly motivated to become a viable solution to help the country work towards its Sustainable Development Goals and accelerate the movement with the circular economy.

 

ChopValue Mexico will be opening 15 locations, and is eager to meet other businesses as well as individuals with the motivation to create positive change in the community.

Arturo Katz, Ingeniero Industrial que durante mas de 10 años ha estado a cargo de la fabrica de ropa del negocio familiar, etará haciendo que ChopValue México sea una realidad. La industria de la moda es conocida por generar grandes cantidades de desperdicio, y Arturo quiso romper el ciclo al tomar responsaabilidad en sus propias manos y crear unn impacto positivo en el medio ambiente. "Siempre he creído que para lograr un cambio, debes empezar contigo — ser el cambio que deseas ver en el mundo" comparete Arturo. "Cuando me encontre con ChopValue y descubri sobre su proceso de manufactura de economía circular, fue fácil tomar la decision de emprender el viaje para traer el concepto de "Bausra-a-recurso" a México."  

 

Arturo tambien tendra el apoyo de un miembro fundador clave: Margarita Zepeda, quien ha revolucionnado la industria de los seguros en México con WOOW, la primer plataforma digital de seguros en el país. La joven emprendedora busca disrumpir ahora en otra industria, desafiando el estatus quo de la manufactura con ChopaValue y su metodo de abastecimiento y producción local para liderar un cambio global. "Con ChopValue, vemos unna oportunidad gigante de lidrar con nuestro ejemplo" Dice Margarita. "Nuestro objetivo es demostrar que es posible hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor, un palillo a la vez" 

 

"Al conocer a Arturo y escuchar la visión que tiene para ChopValue México, no me queda duda que su equipo tendra un camino exitoso" dice Felix Böck, Fundador y director General de Chop Value. "Me siento extremadamente agradecido, al expanndirnos rapida pero efectivamente, de poder asociarme de manera correcta con grupos de gente que tienen un proposito claro, pero que tambien son capaces de ver de primera mano los porblemas actuales en la industria. Sentimos la continua necesidad de impulsar nuestro concepto de economñia circular a nuevas fronteras internaacionales" 

 

Con el reciente ejemplo de la Planta Solar Villanuneva, la planta fotovoltaica masa grande de América y la segunda mas grande del mundo, México esta demostrando su compromiso con un futuro mas verde, atendiendo los retos del calentamiento global y la expolotación de recursos. Una de las principales politicas ambientales gubernamentales es el programa "Basura Cero" que se enfoca en reducir el uso de productos desechables. Debido a la pandemia, y a que el uso de productos desechables es necesaario para la salud pública, el programa no ha tenido el exito deseado. ChopValue Mexico esta fuertemente comprometido en convertirse en una solución viable para ayudar al país a acercarse a sus metas de desarrollo sustentable y aceleraar el movimiento de la economia circular.  

 

ChopValue Mexico abrirá 15 ubicaciones, y esta ancioso de conocer otras personas y negocios con la misma motivación para crear un cambio positivo en su comunidad.
