Thanks to the dedication of our incredible global team along with the invaluable support of our clients and collection partners, we’ve officially recycled 150 million chopsticks, avoiding 7,302,600 kgCO2e from being emitted to the atmosphere — our tangible collective commitment to the planet 🌎🥢

ChopValue was initially founded as a viable proof of concept, challenging the norms of manufacturing in the traditional wood industry. Our mission was to showcase the potential of underutilized urban resources readily available to us, with zero trade-offs to quality or design of our end products. We are currently producing on over 100,000 square feet of production space — with the difference that this space spans across a decentralized micro-manufacturing footprint operating in 9 countries, dedicated to hyperlocal sourcing and manufacturing.

With our strong foundation of a highly scalable and circular business, we take pride in empowering forward-thinking companies to accelerate their environmental impact, aligning with our shared vision of a climate-positive future through responsible manufacturing practices. From this bold vision, we've created a hard working community to drive change globally with our carbon negative wood alternative.

Although our progress represents only a small part of the circular economy and our journey is far from over — ChopValue serves as a blueprint for implementing reverse logistics in our urban environments, demonstrating the potential for impactful change. Our commitment to build our "made local" approach globally is stronger than ever, with the goal to expand our technology and urban harvesting mission in order to transform 100 metric tonnes of “waste” to “resource” per year. Today, we’re scaling a circular ecosystem to build a sustainable tomorrow.
