These chopsticks are the answer to the epidemic of disposable "waribashi" (breakable one-use chopsticks) which are consumed at a rate of 57 to 80 Billion (57-80,000,000,000) sets per year in China alone.
To meet demand in Japan and South Korea, some 15 billion pairs of chopsticks are shipped from China. The disposable chopstick industry consumes millions of trees per year, especially poplar, birch and bamboo.
