Chop Value

Posted on by

What is ChopValue?

Crafted entirely from recycled bamboo chopsticks, ChopValue embodies the principles of the circular economy, turning what was once waste into a stylish and durable piece of furniture. In Nomura too, table-tops were created using this idea.

Carbon Negative Production

This means that more carbon dioxide is removed from the environment than is emitted during its production. Specifically, for every cubic meter of material produced, ~390 kg of CO2 emissions are saved​!

High-Performance Material

The recycled chopsticks are transformed into a high-density composite material using heat, steam, and pressure. This process creates a material that is harder than maple, stronger than oak, and as durable as teak.
