Most chopsticks come from bamboo harvested in China. To make disposable chopsticks, the bamboo is harvested, treated, dried and shaped into chopsticks. These chopsticks then get shipped around 9,000 kilometers to North America, to be used in just one meal. Once used, these chopsticks are normally thrown away without a second thought.

Our raw material is a composite material made by pressing these discarded chopsticks together under high pressure along with a water-based resin, giving a natural and under-utilized resource a new life. Bamboo chopsticks share many of the high-performing traits of virgin bamboo, while our method for manufacturing each tile ensures that our final products are durable and long-lasting.

Bamboo is also one of the fastest-growing wood grasses, making the resource a very sustainable wood material.

When the resin-coated chopsticks are subjected to high temperature and heat from the production process, the resin undergoes a chemical reaction that strengthens the tiles and activates the strong binding properties.

The resin is a water-based acrylic resin, free of urea and formaldehyde. It’s a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly alternative to the current resins used in the industry, allowing us to manufacture VOC-free products.
