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?

Chopstick Folding Basket

Last year, we covered Chopstick Reuse for Knitters, Chopstick Soap Dish and the Chopstick Purse.

But there’s more going on in the world of chopstick reuse.

Look at the chopstick bowl to the right. I found it on flickr via idogcow. If you know how to make this, please do tell.

Then there’s the canoe that Shuhei Ogawara made from gluing 7,382 chopsticks together! Go see it at pink tentacle.

Readers at How can I Recycle This? came up with come great ideas on chopstick reuse. One reader suggested using them to hold up early seedlings in the garden. Go to How can I reuse or recycle … unwanted chopsticks? for more ideas.

Do you have other ideas on chopstick reuse?
