ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Designing with Materials, Production, and Logistics in Mind
With thoughtful design and responsible sourcing—including products partly made in the United States—we aim to create kitchen tools that last longer and reduce unnecessary waste.
At Elihome, sustainability also means supporting the people behind our products. We believe responsible companies should create opportunities, respect diverse perspectives, and foster a culture of collaboration across borders.Our team spans multiple countries, bringing together creativity, craftsmanship, and fresh ideas.
Wood fiber: the
material at the core of our products
Unlike plastic or stone, woodfiber composite offers a lighter, more sustainable way to design for everyday use. It’s non-porous, resistant to bacteria and mold, knife-friendly, dishwasher-safe, and has been a trusted choice in commercial kitchens since 1962.
Our woodfiber composite boards are sourced from responsible suppliers, creating products that are beautifully tactile, environmentally responsible and built to last.
Sustainability
Beyond Materials
Sustainability goes beyond the materials we use. At Elihome, we consider how our products are manufactured and delivered, looking for ways to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact across the entire process.
We work closely with trusted manufacturing and supply chain partners who adhere to responsible practices in material sourcing and energy utilization.
These figures reflect our ongoing commitment to responsible materials, safer products, reduced plastic use, and more energy-conscious production practices across our supply chain.
Minimal & Mindful
Packaging
We use minimal packaging for our cutting boards and spatulas to reduce unnecessary material use while still providing all essential product information.
Plastic-Free Packaging
Packaging waste is one of the biggest contributors to environmental pollution. That’s why Elihome packaging is designed to be completely plastic-free.
Our packaging uses recyclable materials to protect products while minimizing environmental impact.
This means:
• No plastic wrapping
• No plastic inserts
• No unnecessary packaging materials
A simple, recyclable solution that reduces waste.

Instead, Elihome packaging features minimal ink printing, which:
• Reduces chemical use in production
• Improves recyclability

The result is packaging that reflects our clean, minimal design philosophy while being more environmentally responsible.
