How this score breaks down
Strengths
- Made from upcycled hardwood offcuts, so it reuses wood that would otherwise be waste
- Finished with a linseed-oil-and-beeswax blend, fully named
- Backed by company-level B Corp, Climate Neutral, and 1% for the Planet certifications
- Made in the company's own Los Angeles woodshop
Trade-offs
- Avocado does not name the adhesive used to join the offcuts
- The certifications are company level, not specific to this board
- One-of-a-kind boards vary in grain and color, so yours will differ from the photo

About Avocado
Avocado Green Brands is best known for organic mattresses and is one of the most heavily certified companies in home goods: a Certified B Corp with a B Impact score of about 114, Climate Neutral certified since 2020, and a 1% for the Planet member since 2017. Its Zero Waste Cutting Boards are made in the company's own Los Angeles woodshop from upcycled hardwood, beech, walnut, and maple, so each board has its own grain and knots. They are finished with Tried & True Original, a blend of linseed oil derived from flax and beeswax, and the company reports an 85% landfill diversion rate verified by UL. The certifications sit at the company level rather than on the board, and Avocado names the wood and finish but not the adhesive used to join the pieces.
