    We urban harvest used chopsticks. Our resource is what others may view as waste - that means we don’t take virgin materials from our environment. Every chopstick is perfect, slender, and defect-free, making them ideal to develop an innovative engineered material.

    When designing products, our mindset has been circularity and longevity.
    This allows us to minimize our environmental impact while creating sustainable solutions engineered to last.

    Who said you can’t have it all?

    Founder's note

    Why I dream about chopsticks.

     

    Not too long ago, I tried to apply my wood engineering and stereotypical “German efficiency thinking” (not my quote) to tackle the wood and construction waste in Vancouver, Canada.

    A seminar that presented the research results and potential industry know-how for value-added materials, unfortunately, did not resonate much with industry leaders. It was frustrating, but at the same time eye-opening.

    Why I dream about chopsticks.

    It was frustrating, but at the same time eye-opening.

    I realized that in order to prove sustainable business concepts that rely on under-utilized resource supply, there must be thought leaders who show its viability. It had to be interesting, something easy to comprehend, and something that elicits emotions towards the problem of linear economy and our vast amount of waste. I would need to develop a process that creates innovative, highly value-added, and appealing products from a relatable resource.

     

    And that is how ChopValue was born.

     

    Fast forward 10 million chopsticks - we have presented our Microfactory concept in more than 10 countries, with media covered in more than 35. For me, we’ve moved beyond proving that we have built a viable, carbon-negative manufacturing business out of discarded chopsticks, and now it's time to expand this concept globally.

    Our story resonates with people. We believe that we have the responsibility to educate, inspire, and set an example that resource efficiency thinking should simply be the norm.
