Turning Waste into Opportunity

One man looked at a billion wasted chopsticks — and saw possibility.

Felix Böck, Founder & CEO of ChopValue, turned disposable chopsticks into a global circular economy brand. His story is about rethinking waste, building smarter systems, and proving purpose and profit can coexist.

Join us for a Brands for Better community evening with Felix — expect real talk on entrepreneurship, innovation, and what it takes to build something that actually matters.

Good people. Great conversation. One night you’ll be glad you showed up.

Vancouver Foodie Tours:

Fostering Human Connection Through Food and Local Impact

We connect people to Vancouver’s local food community through tours and artisan delivery, supporting 20+ independent makers. For 16 years, we’ve built community impact by turning food experiences into direct support for small, local businesses.

The Ask

  1. If your company runs team building or client events. I want to be your go-to Vancouver experience.

Because your people won’t just attend something…they’ll leave feeling more connected, energized, and happy.

  1. And if you’re sending gifts — to clients or your team — our Granville Island gift boxes are curated, local, and heartfelt.

If you know someone whose company should be doing their next event with us, or who needs memorable gifts — so they can bring joy and appreciation to their team or clients, please come find me tonight.
