Handmade from Upcycled Chopsticks by ChopValueYYC
This board is thoughtfully created by ChopValueYYC, a local company that diverts used chopsticks from landfills and turns them into high-quality home goods. Each board is handcrafted from hundreds of chopsticks that are cleaned, pressed, and transformed into a resilient composite material with a distinctive woodgrain appearance.
ChopValue’s micro-manufacturing model reduces environmental waste and promotes circular economy values. Every purchase of this cheese board directly supports that mission—and contributes to a more sustainable world.
How Chopsticks Become Beautiful Boards
Collection: Used chopsticks are collected from local restaurants in Calgary.
Sanitization: The chopsticks are cleaned using high-temperature steam and dried to remove impurities.
Compression: Clean chopsticks are pressed together using environmentally friendly resin to create a dense, durable board.
Crafting: The raw boards are cut, sanded, and sealed by hand to achieve a flawless finish.
Carbon Storage: The final product stores carbon and offsets emissions from the production process.
Every board is unique, bearing subtle variations in color and pattern that reflect the chopsticks from which it was made.

Caring for Your Recycled Chopstick Cheese Board
Maintaining your cheese board is simple, ensuring years of stylish use. While the board is moisture-sealed, it should not be soaked in water or placed in a dishwasher.
To clean:
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap
Dry immediately with a towel
Occasionally treat with food-safe mineral oil to maintain luster
With proper care, your board will retain its beautiful finish and functionality over time.
