ChopValue transforms urban waste into premium wood furniture and décor for both the home and business environments, with current clients ranging from the restaurant to hospitality and corporate industries. Its value-added products — engineered from disposable chopsticks — are high-performing and carbon negative, offering clients a sustainable alternative to existing wood options. To date, the company has given a second life to over 175 million chopsticks and saved over 8.5 million kgCO2 emissions.

Committed to maximizing resource efficiency, ChopValue takes a local approach to sourcing and production, while expanding globally through franchising — empowering local business ownership and recreating its sustainable business model in markets across the world. By decentralizing circular production capabilities, it is championing a worldwide shift toward more responsible manufacturing. 

With this investment, ChopValue is expanding its business development and design teams, creating more sustainable jobs in B.C. and enhancing the company’s capacity to innovate and scale. It will accelerate its development, pioneering new design solutions, and drive business opportunities to grow its market presence. 

In addition to the potential for financial returns, this investment aligns with InBC’s impact objective to drive climate action and is creating jobs and supporting research and development in the province. It is backing a B.C.-grown company and leader in circular manufacturing that is generating measurable impact locally and globally.
