在全球范围内，我们每年消耗800亿双筷子，其中许多筷子最终被丢弃在垃圾填埋场和其他垃圾场。不过，自2016年以来，温哥华的一家公司已经将这些一次性餐具升级改造成了现代、简约的家具和家居用品系列。
People throw out 100,000 chopsticks every day here in Vancouver.
But now, this local company is upcycling them into shelves, cutting boards, and furniture.
Can it help reduce the massive amount of single-use items in restaurants around the world?
We visited ChopValue's headquarters in Canada to find out.
ChopValue drivers pick up used chopsticks from over 300 restaurants around Vancouver a couple times a week.
Typically about 100 kilograms a day, up to 150.
Pre-COVID, it was more closer to like, 300 kilograms a day.
The restaurants part with them for free.
After they got in, I believe all 5,000 pairs being recycled and reused.
So, it's a great thing.
