TerraDesk (Eco-Friendly Sit-Stand Desk) FAQs
The desk can hold up to 300 lbs (240 lbs max. recommended for daily use).
Most chopsticks come from bamboo harvested in China. To make disposable chopsticks, the bamboo is harvested, treated, dried and shaped into chopsticks. These chopsticks then get shipped around 9,000 kilometres to North America, to be used in just one meal. Once used, these chopsticks are normally thrown away without a second thought.
ChopValue's raw product is a composite material made by pressing these discarded chopsticks together under high heat and high pressure along with water-based resin, giving the natural and under-utilized resource a new life.
Bamboo chopsticks share many of the high-performing traits of virgin bamboo, while our method for manufacturing each tile ensures that our final products are durable and long-lasting. It’s also one of the fastest-growing wood grasses, making this resource the most sustainable wood material.
Are there enough chopsticks in the city? The short answer is YES.
ChopValue collects over 350,000 chopsticks a week from our restaurant partners in Metro Vancouver alone, diverting them from the landfill. In return, their waste disposal costs are reduced while supporting an environmentally friendly cause.
In North America, over 90% of disposable chopsticks are made out of bamboo, with the remaining percentage being wooden. Both types are pressed at ChopValue's facility, regardless of their size or shape.
However, bamboo is preferred because it grows much faster than wood, meaning bamboo forests can be replenished more quickly than wood-based forests, thus making it more sustainable to use bamboo chopsticks.
Another fun fact about bamboo is that it can be grown on land that traditional agriculture can’t use, such as on slopes and infertile soil. It’s a self-generating plant that is less resource-intensive to grow.
ChopValue's manufacturing process generates very little waste. The resin used is recycled until it has been fully utilized. The manufacturing scraps are saved and used in other smaller products.
ChopValue's circular economy micro-factory business has performed life cycle assessment going from resource to end product, to ensure the production process is developed in the most energy-efficient way possible.
Consider the processing emissions, multiple transportation methods and logistics involved in creating what was once seen as disposables (e.g. chopsticks) from virgin material, then that travels thousands of miles to its final destination for temporary use of 20-30 minutes.
That second life cycle, turning under-utilized materials like that into a way of capturing all that energy and these emissions needed to create that material initially is what affects our own carbon footprint so positively, or as per calculation through each step: carbon negative.

I have the brand new Effydesk Terradesk! I love it! It looks awesome. Buy one, I highly recommend! - Full review... Before buying it, I had a lot of messages with Effydesk staff and even the owner! I've never had or experienced a standing desk first hand, so I wanted to make sure I was making the right choice - there are lots of vendors and manufacturers out there. The staff were all friendly and quick to reply. There are a lot of companies out there who could stand to learn a few things from Effydesk and how they treat potential customers. A++ I have a couple of suggestions for improvements. I think it would be great if there was another inch of clearance with the cable management box - would be nice to have a bit more room in there for some bulkier "brick" power supplies. I managed to get mine to fit, but it's tight. In the manual the screws to attach the cable tray in the manual says to use D x2, however the right number of screws were in a separate package and I needed 4. So just a type-o that needs to be corrected. No big deal. Although 1 person could assemble the desk themselves, it would be helpful to have a helper to hold the parts for the first few steps and then later on in the assembly process to flip it over. I noticed that the package came with attachments for the power bar, but there wasn't one included. I didn't try to use it with one of my power bars, but I could see how it would be helpful. I was a bit concerned about the position of the hole/cable bypass in the desk with regards to my monitor/laptop arm. I measured it 3 times, and I thought the monitor was going to hit the bookcase on the left. But it fit perfectly. The desk does have some wobble to it when it's at standing height, but I'll get used to it. The floor is a thin-pile carpet, so maybe that has something to do with it. I can notice the movement because of the microphone I have mounted to the desk. The desk does have a little bit of a smell, due to the manufacturing process. It should dissipate over the next little short while. I presume that due to the natural bamboo chopsticks used to make the top, there are some splinters that came off during manufacturing - which has left some spots where a little chip is missing. The top is smooth, and the little chip doesn't interfere with using the mouse or other devices. I'll probably use a wax wood filler crayon if any of the spots irritate me over time. But for the first few days that I've had it, I'm not concerned about this. There is a low hum when the motor is working, it's quieter than I thought it would be. It's pretty quiet, and moves at a nice pace. There's also the option to really refine the height, just tapping the up/down will move it ever so slightly, so it's easy to get just the right height. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the desk, and love the tabletop. I love that the control panel is in the top and not attached below - I would be worried about it getting caught on something and snapping. I also picked up their standing mat. I ordered the smaller one and it's a good size for me. One note, you should wear shoes on it to give your arch support. Would I buy this again? Absolutely! I highly recommend it!
