This company collects discarded chopsticks and turns them into coasters, shelves, cutting boards, and furniture!
A couple of times a week, they pick up these chopsticks from over 300 restaurants around Vancouver, which reach around 150 kilograms a day. Upon undergoing some processes like being sorted, dipped in water-based resin, roasted in a massive oven, and cut to different sizes, they're now ready to be used.
The process looks easy, but for sure it takes a lot of craftsmanship from the workers to perfect them. Hats off to them!
