As seen on Ticker TV: Interview (Australia) — Managing Waste

Talking under-utilized urban waste streams ahead of The Australian Open, and our goal to expand ChopValue to Australia in 2022. The missing puzzle piece towards a viable circular economy is how scalable "made local" solutions are. We require to think global but act local, and are achieving it with our climate positive Microfactory expansion philosophy to maximize our impact.

It sometimes only takes a simple story like ChopValue to understand that our actions matter and start small, and 50 million chopsticks later, can actually be quite measurable. We urban harvest chopsticks to show the economical viability of a circular business, without compromising quality or design of our everyday products. Product innovation and access to technology isn't the issue to drive change, it's scalability that is the significant game changer. Franchising allows us to expand with like-minded partners who are taking ownership and the responsibility to create impact in their communities with global access to support from our brand. It's an empowering movement - an exciting adventure to work hard towards a new perspective.

We are seeking multi unit development partners in Australia who are ready to redefine the term waste to resource - and start urban harvesting with us - one chopstick at a time.

Please reach out to franchising@chopvalue.com to meet our team of changemakers.
