FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ARE THE CHOPIT BOARDS DISHWASHER SAFE?
If you have a conventional dishwasher, your CHOPIT board is dishwasher compatible. CHOPIT boards can handle heat - up to 80 degrees celsius. If you are concerned about your board warping, place you board on the top rack of your dishwasher - where its a bit cooler.
If you have a commercial dishwasher, with heat exceeding 80 degrees celsius, we recommend hand washing your CHOPIT board.
Please note that the Breadboard is prone to warping in the dishwasher. We recommend you hand-wash Baguette, the Breadboard, to avoid warping and extend longevity.

IS THE CHOPIT PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?
Yes. All CHOPIT packaging is plastic-free and fully recyclable. Your board arrives in a custom CHOPIT box, accompanied by paper care card that can all be recycled at home.
WHAT IS THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE CHOPIT BOARDS?
CHOPIT boards are made from the highest grade of plastic, Ultra high molecular density Polyethylene - commonly known as UHMWPE. Naturally it is a highly durable material with a non-porous surface, making CHOPIT boards non-absorbent, odourless & dishwasher safe.
WHAT ABOUT MICROPLASTICS?
To begin, there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence establishing clear health impacts from microplastics in humans.
Yes, like most cutting surfaces, small particles can be scraped by a knife during use. CHOPIT® boards are made from UHMWPE, a material two grades higher than conventional plastic cutting boards, with a higher density that reduces the degree of surface wear compared to standard plastics.
Our CHOPIT material has been tested to ensure no nasties (BPA & PFAS). Additionally our surface is non-porous and non-absorbent, meaning it is mould resistant and resistant to moisture from foods such as raw poultry, keeping your gut protected from mould and bacteria.
Our material choices have been intentionally considered, and we remain attentive to ongoing research around microplastics.
ARE CHOPIT BOARDS MADE FROM RECYCLED PLASTICS?
YES. At CHOPIT, we believe in a sustainable future. We know plastic chopping boards are the most convenient solution to chop on, given they are mould resistant, low maintenance and dishwasher safe enabling an easy clean-up.
CHOPIT boards are manufactured from 100% Pre-consumer scrap, this allows our boards to be fully recycled plastic material.
WHAT IS PRE-CONSUMER RECYCLED PLASTIC?
In brief, there are two common recycling methods;
1) Pre-consumer recycling, which refers to the waste material leftover in manufacturing facilities
2) Post-consumer recycling, which refers to the recycled material after the end-user has interacted with it
At CHOPIT, we utilise the pre-consumer recycling method. By using this method, we are able to use the scrap material from manufacturers, before the product has reached the consumer. This ensures the plastic is food safe and free from nasty chemicals whilst maintaining integrity towards our sustainability goals.
