Needs: has to be practical for it's intended purpose. A board with an uneven surface would be unsuitable for chopping up vegies.
Aesthetics: would a bright pink board sell as well as something in a more neutral colour? The appearance of the board must be something that will appeal to people.
Safety & health: if a board is made of glass, it must be designed so that it doesn't break easily, or shatter if dropped. Similarly, wooden/plastic boards must be designed so that any cuts into the surface do not result in built-ups of bacteria.
Quality/durability: nobody would buy a board if it seemed flimsy and easily breakable.
Cost: what would be the cost of one material in comparison to another? Which is cheaper?
Sustainability/recyclability: it would be impractical to make a board from a tree that is only found in certain locations. It would be better then to make them from wood taken from plantations. If made from plastic, how is it processed? How do the waste materials affect the environment?
