Billions of single-use chopsticks are consumed annually, and it takes around 25 million trees and bamboo plants to make that happen. Sad. But there is life after use for so-called single-use chopsticks.
Introducing the Chopstick Folding Basket, available at Taraluna, home of Fair Trade items.
The chopsticks used in this basket are collected from restaurants and sanitized at high temperatures and pressure. It’s a great way to reuse something otherwise considered trash.
What do you think of the chopstick basket?

I got one of these as a present and it was very slick. We use it for fruit. Do you think it would work to stain it? just a thought. I was inspired by this bowl to make a folding business card stand with my own leftover chopsticks. thanks for the great idea.
