ChopValue is a sustainable homeware product company that specializes in turning wooden chopsticks into, well, homeware products. To date, the company has helped save 26,329,259 chopsticks from the landfills. The company claims that the shelving unit is carbon negative.

Sustainability aside, modularity is a big selling point. Being modular, you can put together shelving system that suits your needs and space. Plus, the clean minimalist lines, along with the unique appearance of chopsticks-made wooden shelves made it a conversational piece too.
