Chefs—let’s talk cutting boards.

White poly cutting boards have long been a commercial kitchen standard. But over time, knife cuts can create grooves that trap food and harbor bacteria, while the material can also shed microplastics into the cooking environment—and potentially into food. Plus, high-heat dishwashing isn’t always an option.

There’s a better choice.

Richlite Culinary Surfaces are microplastic-free, non-porous, dishwasher safe, knife-friendly, and NSF certified for commercial food preparation.

Clean, durable, and built for professional kitchens, Richlite offers a more sustainable solution for everyday food prep.

Some collabs just get that much better with time. ✨

Our connection with @thirdspacetacoma began with bringing our sustainable, high-performing kitchen surfaces to their space, and grew into something much deeper.

More than a year later, our #MakeItWithPaper material is still performing beautifully.

And when they created a one-of-a-kind layered sandwich named after Richlite, it felt like the perfect way to celebrate 80+ years of manufacturing in Tacoma.

Proud to grow alongside our community. Proud to be WA made.

A material with purpose, from front of house to back of house.

Richlite was used throughout @societycafe for a range of applications, from high-traffic server countertops supporting café equipment to tabletops, millwork details, and the wraparound countertop.

With its complementary finish and tactile feel, Richlite brings a sense of cohesion and ease to the space, pairing effortlessly with its mix of colors, textures, and materials to create this charming café.

Paying a visit to Third Space ✨

In honor of our August collaboration sandwich with @thirdspacetacoma, we had to order the Richlite Sandwich ourselves. Made with delicious, fresh ingredients including a homemade biscuit, avocado, egg, pepper jack, crispy bacon, and hot honey.

Third Space Owner, Kevin Lee, graciously worked with us to create something beautifully layered, just like our local paper-made material.

We loved getting behind the counter to see the sandwich-making process from start to finish—and seeing our Richlite Culinary Surfaces put to good use. Still looking as good as new!

The sandwich verdict? Absolutely delicious.

We hope everyone gets a chance to try the #Richlite Sandwich while supplies last! Collab ends soon. by @richliteculinary

An Actual Kitchen — Designed by @inglis_hall, The Kitchen Maker

What makes a kitchen feel like home? For Inglis Hall, it’s designing spaces around how people actually live—places to cook, gather, talk, relax, and enjoy time together.

Their showroom, “An Actual Kitchen,” brings that philosophy to life. Rather than a space simply for display, it feels authentic, functional, and ready for everyday life, combining thoughtful architectural details with carefully selected materials and local craftsmanship.

Richlite is featured throughout the kitchen as the primary cabinetry material and is part of Inglis Hall’s trusted cabinetry repertoire.

In our Black Diamond color, made with 100% recycled-paper content, Richlite pairs naturally with timber, metal, and other tactile finishes to create a warm, contemporary foundation. Its FSC®-certified paper content adds a thoughtful material story, while its durable construction makes it well suited for everyday use.

We’re proud to be part of Inglis Hall’s commitment to sustainable kitchens and local craftsmanship, alongside makers, suppliers, and artisans who share their focus on quality, authenticity, and provenance.
