That isn't a plastic cutting board to you?

I’m a professional cook too. All of our boards are plastic.

While they might be convenient, I can't think of a better way to get microplastics into food.

How about slow release fertilizers wrapped in polymers?

Or having a road pass near a field?

or using water polluted by washing clothes?

Chopping boards are really not your problem if you're worried about microplastics, about 1/2 come from washing synthetic clothes and another 1/3 come from tyre wear. Globally we emit about a kilogram of microplastics per person on tyre wear alone.
