Chopsticks are made of high quality wood, coated with acrylic. Can easily be washed and dried like any other utensils. Keep away from high heat.  Do not put in microwave oven. Children should be supervised when using.

Can be used hundreds of times if properly cared for. 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.
