The problem
PHA
Information
Origin & certifications
You've been cutting on plastic your entire life. Every slice, every chop, tiny particles ending up in your food. You just couldn't see them.

BitByBit is the first cutting board made from PHA, a material grown by nature, not manufactured from fossil fuels. It works exactly like you're used to. Dishwasher-safe, knife-friendly, built for daily use. The difference is what it leaves behind: nothing that doesn't belong in your body or on this planet.

The cutting board. Reinvented. 
Every plastic board sheds microplastic particles into your food with every use. Those particles don't break down, they accumulate in your body and in nature for decades. BitByBit is made from PHA, nature's answer to plastic. If particles are released during use, they are broken down by natural systems. Nothing persistent left behind.
PHA stands for polyhydroxyalkanoate, a biopolymer produced by microorganisms through natural fermentation using plant-based sugars or oils. No fossil fuels, fully circular, and certified biodegradable in soil, compost, and marine environments by TÜV Austria. Tested for food-safe use and compliant with European food contact regulations.
Dishwasher-safe, knife-friendly, and resistant to heat and moisture. PHA only breaks down when microorganisms have the time and conditions to become active, like in soil or compost. A dishwasher is too hot and too fast for that to happen. Your board stays intact. Size: 30 × 20 × 0.7 cm.
Produced in the Netherlands with partner Wicro Plastics, running entirely on green energy combining solar and Dutch wind power. Developed with material partner Helian Polymers B.V., using PHA sourced from Bluepha. Certified by TÜV Austria for OK Compost Home, OK Compost Soil, and OK Compost Marine. Packaged plastic-free.

Don't just take our word for it.

Scientists, material experts, and real customers agree.

PHA represents a perfect material choice for a cutting board. After 2 years and a steep learning curve, the results were beyond our expectations. With this cutting board we hope to show the world that Plastics Have Alternatives.

Ruud Rouleaux, Helian Polymers B.V.

From my expertise in microplastic toxicology, I know how important material choice is. PHA is a bio-based polymer that is biodegradable under suitable conditions. I consider the development of materials like this an interesting step toward reducing persistent fossil-based plastics in consumer applications.

Dr. Annemijne van den Berg, Microplastics Researcher

When I learned that plastic cutting boards can release microplastics into our food, I couldn't ignore it. BitByBit started with one simple idea: the tools in our kitchen should work with nature, not against it.
