Transforming Waste into Resources, One Chopstick at a Time
In the heart of Bali, an innovative concept is growing, reshaping our approach to waste and sustainability. ChopValue, the world's first circular economy company, is creating high-performance products from an unexpected source – recycled chopsticks. Since 2016, ChopValue's "Urban Harvesting" approach has saved over 100 million chopsticks from landfills worldwide, repurposing them into exquisite and sustainable additions to homes and offices.
Recognized as a Top 5% Certified B-Corporation, this visionary company leads the change in the $4.5 trillion circular economy predicted by the World Economic Forum for 2030.

Bali, facing a "Garbage Emergency," requires innovative solutions. The ChopValue Bali Flagship Microfactory is dedicated to tackling the estimated 1 billion discarded chopsticks annually in Indonesia. The local team has already collected an impressive 1.2 million chopsticks from 169 community partners in Bali alone. This microfactory is not just a facility; it's a force for positive change, promoting a thriving creative economy where every product leaves a sustainable impact.
ChopValue invites local stakeholders to collaborate in reshaping the term "waste." By transforming discarded chopsticks into market-ready products through a distributed manufacturing model, the company aims to create a circular industry with a global impact. Waste, especially when made of valuable materials like bamboo, becomes an opportunity for sustainability rather than an environmental burden.
With plans to establish 25 Microfactory locations across the country, ChopValue Indonesia's Flagship Microfactory in Bali marks a pivotal moment in their mission.
In the world of sustainable practices, ChopValue emerges not only as a pioneer but as an embodiment of a circular economy's transformative power. As they actively support Indonesia's journey towards sustainability, ChopValue sets an inspiring example of how a small but efficient facility can yield tangible results, leaving a lasting impact on the environment and local communities.
