Chopsticks Reincarnated

It’s unfortunate, but billions of single-use chopsticks are disposed of each year, a fact that prompted Bryan Parks to found Kwytza Kraft.

The company collects single-use chopsticks from restaurants in China, cleans them, sanitizes them at high temperature and pressure, and then uses them to make a handful of wonderful products, including lamps, bags and jewelry. Another plus: the company dyes the chopsticks using natural plants from China.

Shown is the sleek Piao neckace, stained in black tea, for $12. Visit the website at chopstickart.com.
