Non-Toxic & Plastic-Free: The Health & Material Benefits of Solid Teak
Why are single-piece teak chopping boards safer than glued wooden boards?
Single-piece teak chopping boards are carved from a single continuous block of solid timber, eliminating the need for synthetic glues, chemical resins, or formaldehyde binders. Unlike edge-grain boards glued together in strips, single-piece teak boards won't split at glue seams or leach toxic adhesives into hot food.
Does a solid teak cutting board dull kitchen knives?
No. Teak strikes an ideal balance on the Janka hardness scale. Tough enough to resist deep knife scars while remaining forgiving on fine knife edges compared to glass, bamboo, or hard acacia boards.
What is SVLK?
The Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK), or Timber Legality Assurance System (INDO-TLAS), is Indonesia’s mandatory certification system ensuring timber products are legally sourced and sustainably managed. It acts as a due diligence tool to combat illegal logging, requiring independent auditing from upstream to downstream sectors.
