CHOPSTICK ART
Brand · Home goods
Adventurous, curious, and entrepreneurial, Bryan was an American living in China. While eating lunch with single-use chopsticks, Bryan asked his dining companion the question that would ultimately lead to his founding of Chopstick Art: How many chopsticks are thrown away every year in China?
The answer is startling. Billions of single-use chopsticks are consumed annually. Even more shocking is the estimated 25 million trees and bamboo plants used every year to make these chopsticks. In this waste Bryan saw an opportunity to up-cycle the discarded chopsticks into a line of home accessory products. The designs would be compelling and beautiful, and raise awareness of the negative impact of using chopsticks only once before disposal.
