Epicurean
A brand whose "eco" positioning outruns its materials. Richlite is a paper-and-phenolic-resin composite, and phenolic resin is a cured plastic binder, so the food surface you cut on is fundamentally a plastic-bonded material - not the solid wood the marketing aura implies. It's a low-migration, NSF-rated composite rather than a leaching hazard, but if the goal is getting plastic off the cutting surface, a plain wood or steel board does it and this doesn't.
How clear are their specs?
Openly names Richlite and its paper-composite makeup, but frames it as "eco-friendly" and glosses over the fact that the phenolic binder is a cured plastic resin.
