It all started with the idea to replace plastic in everyday products with more sustainable material.
Our Story
The fork was only the beginning ....
Drawing from previous experience with manufacturing, our founder Josef and his team spent several years looking for a solution. In 2018, they discovered how to bind wood flour to natural substances. Ta-da! That is how our iconic fork was born. As time has passed, we have grown, and in 2019, we founded Refork. Our workshop evolved into a state-of-the-art factory in Prague. We honed our material, thus enhancing our product and manufacturing line. As a result, the fork evolved into a cutlery set.
