Toothsticks

The use of disposable tableware has surged as a result of the fast-food industry’s expansion and the speed of modern life, resulting in substantial waste of natural resources. With a simple design solution, one end of a chopstick could be used to make a toothpick. This way, the raw materials of the chopsticks are not only used more effectively, but also reduces waste. Additionally, this design responds to today’s concern for environmental conservation and resource utilisation by reminding users to cherish every forest, every tree, and every piece of wood.
