Buy a ChopValue Franchise

ChopValue is a circular-economy manufacturing franchise that turns recycled chopsticks into engineered wood-alternative products — furniture, décor and architectural millwork — for homes, restaurants, offices and commercial spaces. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vancouver, it positions itself as the world’s first franchise built around decentralised, hyperlocal manufacturing.

The model centres on a local “Microfactory”: chopsticks are urban-harvested from nearby restaurants and businesses, then remanufactured on-site into a proprietary material the company describes as stronger than traditional wood. A typical Microfactory runs 1,250–3,500 sq ft, processes up to 100,000 chopsticks a day and operates with a small production and business-development team. Franchisees serve hospitality, office, retail and enterprise clients alongside eco-conscious consumers and designers.

ChopValue is part of the Microfactory Venture Platform (MVP) Group and is a certified B Corporation. Its network now spans operations in 10 countries with 80-plus Microfactories in development, supported by area-developer and master-franchise structures across North America, Europe and APAC.

Why buy a ChopValue Franchise?

Buying a ChopValue franchise offers entry into a distinctive, purpose-driven category that blends sustainable manufacturing with recurring B2B demand. The brand pairs proprietary core equipment and a recognisable circular-economy story with access to a global order-distribution network that channels national and international client work to local Microfactories — an advantage an independent maker would struggle to build alone.

Franchisees plug into an established design and brand-asset library, CRM integration and named partnerships with major hospitality and retail clients, from A&W and Restaurant Brands International brands to projects for KFC and 7-Eleven. Growing corporate emphasis on sustainability and Scope 3 reduction gives the model a tailwind within a category that has expanded steadily, while the shift into full design, engineering and installation services has lifted average order sizes.

ChopValue – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    ChopValue trains incoming owners at its headquarters and provides a minimum of seven days of on-site training, delivered by technicians, a production lead and business-development staff to embed manufacturing, product and operations knowledge. Ongoing backing includes weekly check-in calls, a technology platform for instant communication, CRM integration for deal flow, plus accounting, hiring and inventory guidance and a continually updated library of marketing and sales assets. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access carry over to new ownership, and the experience level of existing Microfactory staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on operators comfortable running a small manufacturing site and coordinating production, people and projects rather than passive investors. Sustainability conviction matters: successful franchisees are motivated by circular-economy impact and willing to follow detailed operating systems. Strong local relationship-building is central — owners recruit and manage restaurant collection partners and pursue B2B design and hospitality clients, so a blend of operations discipline and business-development drive fits best. Manufacturing or trades experience helps but is not essential.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    ChopValue holds strong sustainability credibility as a certified B Corporation, repeatedly recognised as "Best for the World: Environment" (top 5% of its impact-assessment area). Its circular-manufacturing model has been featured by international media including Forbes, Business Insider, The Guardian, the BBC and Nikkei, plus a BBC StoryWorks film series produced with WWF, and presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Recent work includes the Canadian Pavilion at World Expo 2025 in Osaka. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    ChopValue sits at the intersection of sustainable materials and commercial furnishings. The U.S. green building materials market was valued near $88 billion in 2022 and is forecast to grow about 12.7% annually through 2030 (Fortune Business Insights), driven by corporate ESG commitments, Scope 3 emissions targets and demand for low-carbon alternatives. North American hospitality, office and retail buyers increasingly specify documented-impact products, and the localised collect-and-manufacture model insulates supply from import volatility — useful context for resale buyers weighing demand durability in a territory.
