If anyone’s looking for an alternative, I’ve been using Epicurian cutting boards for years. Some kind of compressed wood composite I think.
They’re great to chop on and dishwasher safe (although they may discolour a little, but that never bothered me). Not cheap though.

Apparently some form of phenolic resin is used during the creation process, but only little of that ends up in the actual board. Not sure about any adverse health effects there.
