About Us

Chip[s] Board® was developed in response to the environmental impacts of readily disposable materials
The journey of Chip[s] Board began during the studies and freelance work of co-founders Rowan Minkley and Robert Nicoll. Working across a range of design and fabrication projects the founders were both overwhelmed by the lack of value given to materials and the sheer disposability they have after such short lifespans.
Inspired to find a new solution they sought to develop a new material that if treated in the same disposable manor wouldn’t have the enormous environmental impact currently generated by material disposal.

"Circular Economy should be the starting point when designing new products and materials."

![We are taking part in the #circulardesigners campaign with @ellenmacarthurfoundation. With our materials we hope to inspire others and connect with and support designers hoping to apply circular design to their practice.
Topic: Biomaterials
Challenge: Reduce the amount of single use materials that are discarded and sent to landfill.
Solution: Using byproducts of the food industry Chip[s] Board can develop robust materials to replace current polluting single use solutions.
Inspiration: Our inspiration came whilst studying Design at university, it was here that our co-founders discovered the huge amount or material waste that is disposed of and sought a solution to the issue.
3 circular principles:
• Avoid using virgin materials and instead use abundant natural resources/ byproducts
• Ensure all of our products are bio compatible/compatible with nature
• Encourage collaboration with other eco conscious companies/designers to ensure a circular compatible end product
We nominate @algiknit and @bria_uk as the next circular designer. Will you share your story?
