What is ChopValue?

Crafted entirely from recycled bamboo chopsticks, ChopValue embodies the principles of the circular economy, turning what was once waste into a stylish and durable piece of furniture. In Nomura too, table-tops were created using this idea.

Carbon Negative Production

This means that more carbon dioxide is removed from the environment than is emitted during its production. Specifically, for every cubic meter of material produced, ~390 kg of CO2 emissions are saved​!

High-Performance Material

The recycled chopsticks are transformed into a high-density composite material using heat, steam, and pressure. This process creates a material that is harder than maple, stronger than oak, and as durable as teak.

What’s the Nomura x FIIDAA mural?

The mural at the Level 35 Pantry is a creative collaboration between a local artist, (Alvin Tan), and Nomura staff. Crafted entirely from solid-colored soda cans, it serves as a powerful symbol of collaboration. By choosing an iconic and serene image like Mount Fuji, the mural not only adds a unique aesthetic element to our environment but also makes it truly personalized .

Design Approach

Design: The Mount Fuji design was chosen through a company-wide voting where employees selected their favorite concept.

Contributions: Employees actively participated by collecting and contributing cans from their daily usage.

Engagements: Each can was placed by an employee, who also added their unique signature, making the mural a collective effort and a personal expression.

Bringing the farm and farming to you.

Grobrix is a subscription-based Lifestyle Farming performing as a Service company. They assist in the farming process so that more people can take part in empowering sustainability, self-sufficiency & wellness.

This product stems from the challenges in the food supply chain of Singapore.

The journey of leafy greens from farm to table often exceeds thousands of kilometers, posing significant challenges. Additionally, with less than 1% of Singapore’s land available for farming, the issue becomes even more critical.

Through their patented modular edible wall, Grobrix has developed innovative, tech-driven solutions to address these challenges, bringing agriculture back to the city.
