Commercial Kitchens
Get more working life from your cutting boards, reduce replacement demand and document material kept out of landfill. LoopBoard brings supply, professional resurfacing, planned exchanges and take-back into one program, with records for each kitchen and your wider operation.
Program overview · Service arrangements confirmed with each kitchen
Second Surface, our professional resurfacing service, removes the worn cutting surface from eligible boards. You get a renewed surface while keeping the rest of the board in use. Every successful renewal reduces the need to buy another whole board.
Record board sizes, quantities and service history by kitchen. Procurement can plan supply and replacements across the business, and site teams have a consistent process for returning worn boards.
The program includes planning for replacement or exchange boards before used boards leave the kitchen. Quantities, delivery and return arrangements are agreed for each location.
LoopCertified is our planned record standard for board renewal, retirement and recovery. It connects each board’s service history with measured material weights and recovery evidence, giving your sustainability team a record it can use.
Record the board sizes, quantities and prep stations. Agree on supply and return arrangements for each kitchen.
We inspect each board. Suitable boards are professionally resurfaced to a smooth finish and assessed before returning to service.
Record each renewal against the board’s identity. At retirement, LoopReturn take-back connects the board to a documented recovery route. Record the actual destination and outcome, including any disposal.
The LoopBoard design
The current teal-core design is intended for two useful surface lives: the original surface and a professionally renewed surface. At the second resurfacing assessment, exposure of the teal core on the working face confirms retirement. We photograph that result for the board’s record.
You do not resurface the board in your kitchen. LoopBoard handles the work and the assessment.
¾″ total thickness. Resurfaced cutting faces are smooth. The teal edge on a new board is part of its design, not a retirement signal.
For procurement and sustainability teams
Large organizations need more than a recycling statement. They need to know what happened to the material, where it went and how the result was measured.
The LoopCertified reporting standard is being developed to provide records by location and reporting period. It is LoopBoard’s own program standard, supported by board histories and recovery evidence.
Longer board life and verified recovery give your team concrete waste-reduction results to report. Board weights, service history and transport records can also support a carbon assessment. A carbon-reduction figure needs a comparison that includes new-board production, resurfacing, transport and end-of-life treatment.
Continued use and end-of-life recovery are reported separately. They are not added together as if the same material had been diverted twice. Carbon savings are not inferred from board weight alone.
Start with what your kitchens spend on replacement boards and how often they buy them. Then compare that with a program that includes board supply, resurfacing, exchanges and freight over the same period. The goal is more useful service from each board and a clear view of the total cost.
