The ecoLiving Olive Wood Chopping Board replaces chopping boards made from plastic.

The Chopping Board is made in Europe using sustainably sourced olive wood.

Plastic chopping boards have become common place in kitchens, but they have quite a few drawbacks. For a start, the plastic that chopping boards are made from is difficult to recycle, so often ends up in landfill. That's in addition to the environmental damage that making plastic can cause in the first place. Using a plastic chopping board also risks transferring microplastics into your food every time you chop. Plastic chopping boards also scratch very easily, quickly becoming damaged. The scratches and indents on a plastic chopping board can also become an easy place for bacteria to gather and grow. The ecoLiving Olive Wood Chopping Board solves these problems. Being made from sustainable olive wood, it is easily recycled or composted when it reaches the end of its life, and has a much lower impact on the environment during its production. Wooden Chopping Boards are also more durable than their plastic counterparts, and don't scratch anywhere near as easily. When scratches do occur, they can be easily sanded out to leave behind a new, smooth surface.

The Chopping Board is wrapped in recyclable paper.

With the right care, the Wooden Chopping Board should last for years, but if you do need to dispose of it, it can be recycled with wood at your local household recycling centre, or can be cut up into small pieces and placed in your compost bin.
