Build a Climate-Positive Furniture Franchise
Transform recycled chopsticks into high-performance wood products through local micro-manufacturing.
Brand overview
ChopValue is a microfactory franchise that collects used chopsticks from local communities and remanufactures them into circular-economy furniture, office, and hospitality products. As part of the MVP Group of Companies, the brand leads a decentralized approach to scaling positive environmental impact. Founded to divert the 1.5 billion disposable chopsticks used globally every week from landfills, ChopValue uses proprietary technology to compress recycled materials into a composite harder than maple, stronger than oak, and as durable as teak.
