PLACEHOLDER Threw the plastic ones out the same day
★★★★★I had three white plastic boards with grey knife scars all over them. Read about the microplastics, ordered Carva, and they went in the bin the day the box arrived.

Product description
Specifications
Small 29.8 × 23.5 cm, medium 37 × 27.5 cm, large 44 × 32.5 cm. 6 mm thick. Compressed pine wood fibre bonded with food-safe resin. Non-porous surface. Integrated handle and hanging hole. Dishwasher safe.
Why not plastic
Every cut on a plastic board shaves particles off the surface. A 2023 North Dakota State University study estimated 7.4 to 50.7 grams of microplastic a year from one board, roughly ten credit cards. Carva has no plastic surface to shed. The resin is a binder inside the board, not a layer on top.
Care
Dishwasher, top or bottom rack. Or warm soapy water. Dry and put it away. No oiling, no seasoning, no soaking. Knife marks will show over time, as on any board, they just do not flake.

PLACEHOLDER Good board, slides a little on marble
★★★★☆Knife feels great on it and it comes out of the dishwasher flat every time. Only thing: on my marble counter it moves a bit when I chop hard. A damp cloth underneath fixes it.
Khalid R.· Abu Dhabi
Carva repliedThanks Khalid. The damp cloth trick is the one we use too. We are testing silicone corner grips for exactly this.
PLACEHOLDER Used the trial, kept all three
★★★★★Ordered because of the 30 days, honestly expecting to send them back. Day 9 I stopped thinking about it. Small kitchen, so the 6 mm thing mattered.

Our material
Two materials. Here is why they beat the board in your drawer.
Plastic scars and holds odour. Timber needs oiling and cannot go near a dishwasher. Wood fibre does the job of both without the maintenance of either. This page explains how.
The construction
Pine fibre, food-safe resin, pressed.
Tap a number on the photo, or read down the list.
-
1
Pine wood fibreCompressed pine fibre gives the board its density and the feel of wood. It is what your knife touches.
-
2
Food-safe resinA small share of binder holds the fibre together. It sits inside the board, not as a layer on top, so there is nothing to flake off.
-
3
Non-porous surfacePressed dense enough that juices sit on top instead of soaking in. That is why it takes raw meat and goes in the dishwasher.

4
6 mm, with a handleThin enough to store upright, strong enough not to bend. Integrated handle and hanging hole.
Up to 50 g
of microplastic a year from one plastic cutting board. Roughly ten credit cards, one meal at a time.
Yadav et al., Environmental Science & Technology, 2023 (North Dakota State University)
Why not plastic
A plastic board does not wear out. It wears off.
Every cut shaves particles from the surface of a plastic board. They stick to the knife, to the carrot, to the chicken, and go in the pan. You cannot see them, taste them or rinse them off.
Researchers at North Dakota State University counted. Depending on the plastic and how hard you chop, a single board sheds between 7 and 50 grams a year. The top of that range is about ten credit cards.
Carva has no plastic surface to shed. The resin is a binder inside the board, not a layer on top. Knife marks show over time, as on any board. They do not flake.
In your kitchen
What changes, day to day.
Nothing sheds into your food
A hard, non-porous surface that takes knife marks without flaking.
Straight into the dishwasher
Wash it with the plates. It does not warp, swell or split.
Kind to knives
Softer than glass, stone or bamboo. The edge lasts longer.
Zero maintenance
No oil, no seasoning, no drying it upright. Wash, dry, done.
Still wondering?
Anything else, WhatsApp us. We reply within the hour on working days.
Is the resin food safe?
Yes. It is a food-contact grade binder, free from formaldehyde, and it sits inside the pressed fibre rather than on the surface. There is no plastic layer for a knife to shave into your food.
Can I cut raw chicken on it?
Yes. The surface is non-porous, so juices sit on top instead of soaking in, and the board goes in the dishwasher afterwards.
Will knife marks show?
Over time, like on any board. The difference is that they do not flake. The fibre compresses rather than shedding.
