From soft plastic waste to kitchen staple.

Say kia ora to the Cleanstone Clear Chopping Board, made entirely from New Zealand’s soft plastic waste—think stretch wrap and soft plastic packaging, all transformed into something strong, beautiful, and built to last.

Every board avoids over 1,200x the carbon emissions of chopping boards made from virgin plastic. That’s what happens when we choose to work with what’s already here.

Looks good. Does good. Lasts long.

At 18mm thick, this board is seriously tough—made for daily use and decades of life. You can easily resand the surface every few years to keep it looking fresh. And with its unique flecked finish, each board is a one-off, telling the story of the plastic saved from landfill and oceans.

Choose your size:

• A5 – Small (780g) | Diverts ~84.8m of soft plastic wrap. Handy for small jobs and beautiful as a serving board.

• A4 – Medium (1.282kg) | Diverts ~139m of wrap. Perfect everyday size.

• A3 – Large (2.564kg) | Diverts ~279m of wrap. Great for big meals or countertop styling.

Better by design. Kinder to the planet.

• Made from 100% recycled soft plastics (bread bags, snack wrappers etc.)

• Handmade in Auckland, NZ

• Sandable surface to keep it fresh for years

• Can be purchased individually or in sets of 3

• Food-safe and water proof

• Every board is unique in texture and colour

At Critical, we believe good design doesn’t cost the earth. These boards are part of our mission to turn waste into value, and to leave the world better than we found it—for our tamariki, and theirs.

🧼 Care Instructions

Cleanstone is built to last—just give it the care it deserves.

• Wash: Warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or brush is best. Not dishwasher safe— high heat can cause warping over time.

• Stains: Cleanstone resists most stains, but turmeric, beetroot and other strong pigments may temporarily tint the surface if left too long. Wash promptly for best results.

• Refresh: After years of use, simply resand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (180–240 grit) to make it look brand new again. 

• Heat: Cleanstone is resistant to pots of boiling water up to 100 deg C, however avoid placing hot frying pans directly onto the board as it will leave  a mark—it’s strong, but not fully heatproof.
