Material: PE chopping boards are usually made of polyethylene plastic, while wooden chopping boards are made of wood, usually oak, beech or bamboo, among others.

 

Hygiene and cleaning: PE chopping boards are easier to clean than wooden ones because their smooth surface is less likely to harbor bacteria and they can be washed in the dishwasher. Wooden chopping boards may have fine cracks on the surface, which are more likely to harbor dirt and require more meticulous cleaning.

 

Durability: PE chopping boards are usually more durable, less prone to warping or cracking, and less susceptible to moisture and deterioration. Wooden chopping boards require more care and need to be regularly wiped down and coated with cooking oil to maintain their texture and prevent cracks.

 

Knife protection: PE chopping boards are less prone to knife marks on their surface and can effectively protect knives, whereas wood chopping boards may leave knife marks on their surface but are also better able to absorb impacts.

 

Environmentally friendly: Wooden chopping boards are often considered more environmentally friendly as they are a renewable resource and can be recycled at the end of their useful life.PE chopping boards are durable but being plastic, they are not good for the environment.

 

Therefore, the choice between PE or wood chopping boards depends on personal preference for cleanliness, durability, and environmental friendliness.
