Residing in the Waterloo Region has been a memorable experience. From the wonderful people to its vibrant culture of innovation, we are inspired by those around us. Collaboration leads to incredible outcomes and in our latest partnership with ChopValue, we unraveled a connection that generates global impact.

Sharing a mission and vision that aligns with our own, ACCOMMOD8U was drawn to ChopValue for its innovative approach to sustainability. Dedicated to transforming used chopsticks into high-quality sustainable furnishings, ChopValue takes recycling to a new level, repurposing utensils into tabletops, stationery, shelving and even home décor.

With our partnership, tenants can become contributors to a global sustainability initiative simply by recycling. To think that chopsticks, used and mindfully disposed of by our tenants, could become a part of internationally recognized, world-class projects is extraordinary.

Take a look at some of the amazing projects and partnerships ChopValue has been a part of globally:

The Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is leading the way for a greener future with its ChopValue collaboration. Diverting more than one million chopsticks from the landfill, YVR closes the loop using ChopValue’s circular solutions in seating tables, newly expanded zones, custom recognition awards, and podiums for speakers at special events.

Take a look at the Rally Pickleball Centre in North Carolina. Working with ChopValue for its manufacturing capabilities and carbon storing product creation, the stunning reception wall and bar counter is doing more than just pleasing the eye.

Now, every time you enjoy a meal in our 203 Lester Street food court, you can make an eco-conscious choice. Become a part of this incredible partnership and initiative that transforms over 100,000 chopsticks per day. Simply place your used chopsticks in the dedicated new Chopstick Recycling Receptacle, and ChopValue will collect and repurpose them into sustainable products.

This is more than a partnership, it is an opportunity for tenants like you to have global impact. Fulfilling our ongoing commitment to sustainability and building vibrant, eco-friendly communities, the ChopValue and ACCOMMOD8U partnership is just the beginning of a greener, eco-conscious future.
