Product Description
This is the large format green chopping board from Hygiplas, made from high-density polyethylene and cut to an extra 25mm thickness. Green is the universally recognised colour code for salad, fruit, and raw vegetables in commercial kitchen colour-coding systems, helping kitchen teams maintain clear ingredient separation without having to rely on memory or labelling alone.
The extra thickness matters in a working kitchen. Standard-weight boards can flex, warp, or develop deep score marks relatively quickly under heavy prep volumes. The additional material depth here gives greater structural rigidity and a longer usable life before the board needs retiring — a practical consideration in kitchens where boards are in use across multiple prep shifts each day.
High-density polyethylene is the standard material for commercial chopping boards for good reason: it is non-absorbent, resistant to odour absorption, and tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant degradation. It also satisfies food safety requirements around non-porous food contact surfaces.
- Colour-coded green for salad, fruit, and raw vegetable prep
- Extra thickness provides rigidity and resists warping under daily use
- Non-absorbent surface supports effective cleaning and sanitation
- Suitable for commercial dishwasher use
- Compliant with food hygiene regulations for food contact surfaces
The large size suits high-volume prep stations where smaller boards would require repositioning or create a cramped working surface. For kitchens with lighter prep requirements or limited bench space, a smaller format in the same range may be a better fit. If you are equipping a full station with a complete colour-coded set, it is worth discussing your prep workflow before ordering to make sure you have the right sizes and colours covered.
If you are unsure which sizes or quantities suit your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Green is the widely adopted industry colour code for salad, fruit, and raw vegetables, consistent with UK food safety guidance on preventing cross-contamination. Using a standardised colour-coding system across your boards is considered good practice and is commonly expected during food hygiene inspections.
- Standard commercial chopping boards are typically around 12–15mm thick. At 25mm, this board offers significantly greater rigidity, which helps it resist the warping and deep scoring that can occur on thinner boards used heavily across long prep shifts. This generally translates to a longer service life before replacement is needed.
- Yes, and it is worth planning the full set rather than buying individual colours in isolation. Different prep areas and ingredient types each carry their own colour, so it helps to map out your workflow first to ensure you have the right combination of colours and sizes for your station layout. We are happy to advise if you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing an existing set.
