About Us
A Mission for a Healthier Future
At Velcorian, they believe that what we prepare our food on is just as important as the food itself. Our mission is clear: to eliminate microplastics from kitchens, reduce bacterial and fungal risks, and create products that are built to last—protecting both our families and the planet.
Dr Ben dedicated his career to food safety and public health. Privately, a husband and a father of two, he is deeply committed to ensuring that the food we eat is safe and free from hidden dangers. But one of the greatest risks doesn’t come from the food itself—it comes from the very tools we use to prepare it.
Plastic chopping boards shed microplastics into our meals. Wooden boards trap bacteria and fungi, increasing contamination risks. The industry's response? Sell us more of the same and tell us to replace them every few years. But that just adds to the waste crisis.
As a diver and marine mammal medic, Dr Ben has witnessed first-hand how plastic pollution is devastating our oceans. Microplastics don’t just harm marine life—they make their way into our bodies, our children, and our future. He refuses to stand by and do nothing.
That’s why he founded Velcorian—a company dedicated to crafting microplastics-free, antibacterial, antifungal, and dishwasher-safe chopping boards that surpass traditional options in both performance and longevity. Every detail is considered, every material chosen with care—to deliver products that reflect uncompromising standards in health, design, and sustainability.
Velcorian isn’t just a company—it’s a mission to redefine what safe, sustainable kitchenware should be. It brings together Dr Ben’s professional expertise and personal values—his way of helping families like his own cook with confidence, knowing they’re making safer, smarter choices for a healthier home and a cleaner planet.
