OUR
CARBON FOOTPRINT
ADVANTAGE
Many brands are adding sustainability as a response to consumer demand. For us, it was never about answering a market need — a responsible use of our valuable resources is in our DNA.
From day one, the goal of our business was based on circularity and a viable product that minimizes environmental impact.
As a Certified B Corp, we are committed to using business as a force for good, and lead with transparency.
A Comparative Material & Lifecycle Analysis
How ChopValue’s Performance Material Compares
to Conventional Material for Furniture
Let's compare the emissions for the most commonly used wood based composites and solid materials based on 4 key areas*, namely the resource origin, manufacturing processes, logistics and lifetime of the end product.
The Materials:
Sumber Daya
Our circular material is better
for you and the planet.
Every product made from our engineered performance material means fewer trees cut down for wooden furniture.
In addition to preventing deforestation, we lock in the carbon contained in chopsticks, avoiding the emissions that would occur if they ended up in a landfill.
Manufaktur
Our manufacturing process is designed to be as sustainable as possible.
In addition to saving on CO2 emissions, our simplified process eliminates energy-intensive steps required to prepare raw materials.
We also skip using water that's typically used to clean the logs as well as dust suppression and cooling saw blades during the production of particleboard, fibreboard, and solid wood.
Logistik
Our products are made local on a global scale for maximum positive impact.
Transportation and logistics are a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions for most businesses that procure and send products overseas.
With our global network of Microfactories operating in 9 countries and over 80 locations in development, we’re uniquely equipped to source, manufacture, and ship as local to you as possible.
Siklus Hidup
We produce sustainable solutions with no compromises on quality (or design).
Our products are stronger than oak and harder than maple, built to last. Plus, they can go through up to three life cycles** with our remanufacturing service. Durable and sustainable, all in one.
What does this all mean?
As forests shrink and landfills grow, using circular materials is more important than ever. By choosing ChopValue over conventional commercial materials, you can save up to
-16,228 kg of CO2 emissions per cubic meter.
While wood is a renewable resource, we’re showcasing the massive potential of using waste streams. Recycling materials like discarded chopsticks reduces emissions and makes a better use of resources that would otherwise be wasted. Plus, our hyperlocal manufacturing method cuts down on the carbon footprint even more by sourcing, manufacturing, and distributing locally.

* Asumsi:
- - Bahan-bahan komersial adalah 1⁄3 papan serat, 1⁄3 papan partikel, 1⁄3 kayu solid
- - Pelapis dan zat-zat lain yang mengandung bahan tersebut diabaikan
- - Papan partikel dan papan serat terbuat dari cemara; pohon maple adalah acuan untuk kayu solid
- - Pabrik panel berbasis kayu memperoleh energinya melalui pemanfaatan termal dari sisa-sisa produksi berbasis kayu sendiri atau yang dibeli
- - Kayu solid bersumber dari dalam negeri, sedangkan sumber daya untuk papan serat dan papan partikel diangkut ke luar negeri
** Catatan:
- - Ini adalah perkiraan konservatif tetapi kemungkinan lebih besar, tergantung pada produk yang kita gunakan sebagai permulaan.
