The safer swap for every kitchen. Most cutting boards shed microplastics into your food with every slice. Studies show that a single plastic cutting board can release over 1,100 microplastic particles per use, adding up to 50 grams of plastic ingested per person per year. Our cutting boards are made from Richlite, a paper composite pressed from FSC-certified and recycled paper, producing zero microplastics.

Developed for commercial kitchens and trusted by professional chefs, Richlite delivers the knife-feel of wood without the upkeep. The non-porous surface resists bacteria, odors, and moisture. No oiling. No warping. No splitting. Just rinse or toss it in the dishwasher.

Set includes three sizes (Small 10x7", Medium 14x11", Large 17x11") with dual-sided surfaces for separating proteins and produce. Medium and Large boards feature juice grooves. Made in the USA.

Are plastic cutting boards safe?

Research published in Environmental Health Perspectives (2025) found that polypropylene and polyethylene cutting boards release microplastic particles that accumulate with each use. Over 12 cycles of simulated food prep, plastic boards released 1.28-1.42 grams of microplastics total, with particle concentrations increasing as the board wore down. Made In Cutting Boards are made from Richlite paper composite, not plastic, and produce zero microplastics.

What is the safest cutting board material?

The safest cutting board materials are those that don't shed microplastics into your food. Made In Cutting Boards use Richlite paper composite, which is NSF-certifiable, non-porous, and microplastic-free. Unlike wood, Richlite doesn't need oiling or conditioning. Unlike bamboo, it contains no plastic adhesive bonding. Unlike plastic, it doesn't degrade into particles that end up in your body.

What is Richlite? Is it the same as Epicurean?

Richlite is a paper composite material made by saturating FSC-certified or 100% recycled paper with food-safe phenolic resin, then pressing it into dense, durable sheets. Made In Cutting Boards use the same category of material found in Epicurean cutting boards. Independent lab testing has found no traces of microplastic particles after simulated use. Richlite has been trusted in commercial kitchens for decades.

Do Made In Cutting Boards harbor bacteria?

No. Unlike wood, which is porous and can trap bacteria in grain and knife marks, Made In Cutting Boards use a non-porous Richlite surface that resists bacteria, odors, and moisture absorption. The boards are dishwasher safe for easy sanitizing. The dual-sided design also lets you dedicate one side to raw proteins and the other to produce.

Are Made In Cutting Boards dishwasher safe?

Yes. Unlike traditional wood boards that require hand washing and regular oiling, Made In Cutting Boards go straight in the dishwasher with no special care. No mineral oil. No conditioning. No maintenance.

Will Made In Composite Paper Cutting Boards dull my knives?

No. Made In's Richlite paper composite is knife-friendly, similar to end-grain wood in feel. It won't dull blades the way glass, ceramic, or marble surfaces do. The surface is forgiving enough for daily use without causing premature edge wear.

How are Made In Composite Paper Cutting Boards different from wood cutting boards?

Wood boards are also microplastic-free, but they require regular oiling, can crack or warp if put in a dishwasher, absorb moisture, and can harbor bacteria in deep knife marks over time. Made In Cutting Boards have the warmth and knife-feel of wood with none of the upkeep. They're non-porous, dishwasher safe, and won't split, crack, or warp.

What sizes are included in the Made In Cutting Board Set?

The Made In Cutting Board Set includes three boards: Small (10" x 7") for garnishes and small prep, Medium (14" x 11") with juice grooves for everyday cooking, and Large (17" x 11") with juice grooves for carving and large-format prep. All Made In Cutting Boards are 0.24" thin and lightweight.
