A company in Vancouver, Canada, is giving them a new life.

Sometimes a good idea starts with frustration when you, when you understand how restores inefficient, we are in our cities.

And I wanted to make sure to set an example off using chopsticks and create a viable business out of it.

Shock Value Collects.

Use chopsticks from local restaurants.

The sticks are cleaned, infused with resin and pressed into tiles.

Our limitation was the size of the chops to get the beginning, so I wanted to keep it very, very modular and very micro.

And that's how we developed.

The first hydraulic compress that presses eight by eight inch tile was very highly identified.

The tiles were used to make new products, including home decor, kitchenware and tabletops.

The company has recycled more than 25 million chopsticks to date.

They hope to expand by taking their business model abroad.

Think of mass manufacturing today like you would do it we can of the antique here, the anti Amazon.

We don't want to ship product.

We don't want a mass produced in one location we want to produce locally, wherever you are about to scale with global design and a global brand of support in the back, Some of the chopsticks have even found a new life as decor in the restaurants where they were sourced from.
