Beliefs and Values – Australian Chopping Boards

At Greenvalley we believe in environmental sustainability. Because of this, we chose Camphor Laurel. It has distinguished characteristics in line with our beliefs. Camphor is an introduced species. As a result, it is a pest to our local species and the councils encourage logging Camphor trees. Harvesting it protects our environment.

We highly value Australian-made and owned products. Because of the large amount of cheap, imported goods, we want to make something real and Aussie. This is why we chose Camphor, sourced in NSW. Camphor Laurel is a high quality and environmentally friendly species according to a study done in Southern Cross University (2002).

Greenvalley Chopping Boards

Greenvalley Pty Ltd sells Australian Chopping Boards. We were formed on 15 December 1992 as a timber trading company. We discovered the specialties of the Australian grown Camphor Laurel in 1999. As a result we have been exporting it to China and South Korea.

In 2009, the market demand for Camphor Laurel products had driven us to branch out. We decided to make chopping boards due to our expertise. Subsequently, we exported our finished product to South Korea and Germany. As a result, we refined our production technique and improved the quality of our goods. In 2018, we finished building our chopping board factory in Murwillumbah, NSW. Since then we set up another factory in Clayton South, VIC (in 2019) to increase production capacity.

Our boards will last for many years and become a much-loved part of everyday dining. The artistry of preparing and presenting food will be something that you will look forward to.

Camphor Laurel is a caring choice for household applications. It has an antibacterial nature and distinct feel. Its pleasant aroma adds a layer of experience in preparing or presenting food.

Each board is handmade from a single piece of solid timber without any joining. This creates strength, longevity, and grain continuity. A natural pattern is revealed in every board, giving all our products their own personality.

SOUTHERN CROSS UNIVERSITY STUDY

Camphor Laurel has also long been recognized for its unique anti-bacterial properties, making it an ideal surface for food preparation.

Camphor laurel was introduced to Australia in 1822. This East Asian plant is an invasive species that crowds out native Australian species that depend on those trees. As a result, they are labeled weeds in New South Wales (NSW). Australian authorities encourage their removal in order to achieve ecological balance. Therefore, converting these trees into chopping boards promotes sustainability and leads to several other benefits.

University testing has proven it is far superior to plastic, glass and other timbers. The following is an extract of the study. Mean number of organisms per board from testing.

	CAMPHOR LAUREL	CEDAR	PLASTIC	GLASS
FUNGI	3.3	8.0	9.7	5.7
BACTERIA	0.7	1.7	7.3	8.0
TOTAL	4.0	9.7	17.0	13.7
