ChopValue transforms discarded chopsticks into new furniture and products, reducing waste and lowering their carbon footprint.
Globally, over 1.5 billion disposable chopsticks are discarded every week after a single use, contributing to massive urban waste and environmental degradation. Additionally, traditional furniture and decor manufacturing often relies on virgin materials, leading to deforestation and high carbon emissions.

ChopValue transforms waste into a resource by collecting used chopsticks and upcycling them into high-value furniture, decor, and office furniture, promoting a circular economy while generating employment for local artisans.
ChopValue operates a decentralized microfactory model, collecting discarded chopsticks from restaurants and turning them into furniture, home products and business solutions. The key offerings include custom furniture for restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices; promotional items and business solutions made from recovered chopsticks and reclaimed materials.
Through their offer, they help companies integrate their supply chains into the circular economy, producing locally made products using recovered chopsticks collected from restaurants. This contributes to a decrease in waste and carbon emissions. At the same time, ChopValue constantly integrates more artisans and craftsmen into its production process, creating jobs in carpentry and upcycling industries locally. This increases its local impact by providing dignified employment and fostering skills development for low-income communities.
