Threw the plastic ones out the same day
★★★★★I had three white plastic boards with grey knife scars all over them. Read about the microplastics, ordered Carva, and they went in the bin the day the box arrived.

CARVA+ is made from compressed wood fibre, creating a slim and durable surface that is easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store. At just 6 mm thick, it gives you the feel and functionality of a quality chopping board without taking over your kitchen.
Unlike traditional wooden boards, CARVA+ requires no oiling or special maintenance. When you're finished cooking, simply place it in the dishwasher.
Why you'll love CARVA+
• Dishwasher safe
• Knife friendly surface
• Slim 6 mm design
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Non porous surface
• No oiling required
• Easy to clean and maintain
• Designed for everyday use
• Easy to store, even in smaller kitchens
A better alternative for your kitchen
Plastic chopping boards are convenient, but many people are looking for an alternative to preparing food on plastic surfaces. Traditional solid wood boards offer another option, but they can be heavy, bulky and require regular care.
CARVA+ gives you the best of both worlds.
The wood fibre construction provides a durable, practical cutting surface while remaining significantly slimmer and easier to maintain than a traditional wooden chopping board.
Made for everyday cooking
From quickly slicing fruit in the morning to preparing vegetables, meat and full family dinners, CARVA+ is designed to be the board you reach for every day.
Its lightweight construction makes it easy to move around the kitchen, while the slim profile means it takes up minimal space when stored.
And when dinner is done, there is no scrubbing, oiling or special treatment required.
Just cook. Rinse. Dishwasher. Done.
Try CARVA+ for 30 days
We want you to experience the difference in your own kitchen.
That's why every CARVA+ chopping board comes with a 30 day trial, giving you plenty of time to cook with it, clean it and see how it fits into your everyday routine.
Upgrade your everyday prep with CARVA+.
Specifications
Small 29.8 × 23.5 cm, medium 37 × 27.5 cm, large 44 × 32.5 cm. 6 mm thick. Compressed pine wood fibre bonded with food-safe resin. Non-porous surface. Integrated handle and hanging hole. Dishwasher safe.
Why not plastic
Every cut on a plastic board shaves particles off the surface. A 2023 North Dakota State University study estimated 7.4 to 50.7 grams of microplastic a year from one board, roughly ten credit cards. Carva has no plastic surface to shed. The resin is a binder inside the board, not a layer on top.
Care
Dishwasher, top or bottom rack. Or warm soapy water. Dry and put it away. No oiling, no seasoning, no soaking. Knife marks will show over time, as on any board, they just do not flake.
Delivery and 30-day money back
Ships from Dubai within 1 working day. Free delivery across all seven Emirates, usually 1 to 3 working days, with tracking. Use the board for 30 days. Not for you? Message us, we collect it from your door for free and refund the full amount.

Good board, slides a little on marble
★★★★☆Knife feels great on it and it comes out of the dishwasher flat every time. Only thing: on my marble counter it moves a bit when I chop hard. A damp cloth underneath fixes it.
Khalid R.· Abu Dhabi
Carva repliedThanks Khalid. The damp cloth trick is the one we use too. We are testing silicone corner grips for exactly this.
Used the trial, kept all three
★★★★★Ordered because of the 30 days, honestly expecting to send them back. Day 9 I stopped thinking about it. Small kitchen, so the 6 mm thing mattered.

Our material
Two materials. Here is why they beat the board in your drawer.
Plastic scars and holds odour. Timber needs oiling and cannot go near a dishwasher. Wood fibre does the job of both without the maintenance of either. This page explains how.
The construction
Pine fibre, food-safe resin, pressed.
Tap a number on the photo, or read down the list.
-
1
Pine wood fibreCompressed pine fibre gives the board its density and the feel of wood. It is what your knife touches.
-
2
Food-safe resinA small share of binder holds the fibre together. It sits inside the board, not as a layer on top, so there is nothing to flake off.
-
3
Non-porous surfacePressed dense enough that juices sit on top instead of soaking in. That is why it takes raw meat and goes in the dishwasher.

Up to 50 g
of microplastic a year from one plastic cutting board. Roughly ten credit cards, one meal at a time.
Yadav et al., Environmental Science & Technology, 2023 (North Dakota State University)
Why not plastic
A plastic board does not wear out. It wears off.
Every cut shaves particles from the surface of a plastic board. They stick to the knife, to the carrot, to the chicken, and go in the pan. You cannot see them, taste them or rinse them off.
Researchers at North Dakota State University counted. Depending on the plastic and how hard you chop, a single board sheds between 7 and 50 grams a year. The top of that range is about ten credit cards.
Carva has no plastic surface to shed. The resin is a binder inside the board, not a layer on top. Knife marks show over time, as on any board. They do not flake.
In your kitchen
What changes, day to day.
Nothing sheds into your food
A hard, non-porous surface that takes knife marks without flaking.
Straight into the dishwasher
Wash it with the plates. It does not warp, swell or split.
Kind to knives
Softer than glass, stone or bamboo. The edge lasts longer.
Zero maintenance
No oil, no seasoning, no drying it upright. Wash, dry, done.

Can I put the cutting board in the dishwasher?
Yes! Unlike traditional wooden boards, our cutting boards are completely dishwasher safe. Simply place them in the dishwasher after use, let them dry and they’re ready to go again.
What are the cutting boards made from?
Our boards are made from 80% compressed pine wood fibre and 20% food safe resin. This combination gives you the natural feel of wood with the durability and convenience of a modern cutting board.
Is this a solid wood cutting board?
Not quite, and that’s actually one of its advantages. Instead of being made from a thick piece of solid wood, the board is made from compressed wood fibres.
This makes it thinner, lighter and much easier to care for. No regular oiling, seasoning or special maintenance required.
Is there plastic in the cutting board?
The board is made from 80% wood fibre and 20% food safe resin, which binds the wood fibres together and gives the board its strength.
So while it isn’t completely plastic free, it contains significantly less plastic based material than a conventional plastic cutting board.
What about microplastics?
Plastic cutting boards can shed small plastic particles as the surface becomes worn from repeated cutting.
Because our boards are made primarily from compressed wood fibre, they contain substantially less plastic based material than conventional plastic boards. We also believe in being transparent: 20% food safe resin is used to bind the wood fibres together.
Why choose wood fibre instead of a traditional wooden board?
You get many of the things people love about wood, without all the maintenance.
Wood fibre makes the board lighter, thinner, dishwasher safe and easy to store. There’s also no need for regular oiling or seasoning like with many solid wood boards.
Does it need to be oiled or seasoned?
No. There’s no oiling, seasoning or special treatment required.
Just wash it, let it dry and it’s ready for your next meal.
How do I clean it?
The easiest way is to simply put it in the dishwasher.
You can also wash it by hand with warm water and dish soap. Let it dry fully before storing. No special cleaning products or wood oils are needed.
Can I use both sides?
Yes. Both sides can be used for chopping and food preparation, so you can make full use of the entire board.
What can I use it for?
Everything from chopping vegetables and slicing fruit to preparing bread, meat and everyday meals.
The non porous surface makes it easy to clean between different ingredients.
Why is the board so thin?
That’s one of the biggest advantages of wood fibre. The material allows us to make the board slim and lightweight without the bulk of traditional wooden boards.
It’s easier to handle, takes up less space and is much easier to store.
Will it warp or crack?
The compressed wood fibre construction is designed to be much lower maintenance than traditional solid wood.
It can handle regular washing without the same tendency to warp, split or crack that you often get with traditional wooden boards.
