Subject: Disposable Chopsticks Reduction
I am planning to undertake a community-based project with
businesses, namely Asian restaurants, to attempt to convert them
from disposable to reusable chopsticks. Disposable chopsticks are
often referred to as 'waribashi', which is the Japanese term.
Any information on similar initiatives, the impact / scope of the
problem or links to eco-friendly chopstick alternatives would be
helpful. Any projects working with restaurants on environmental
behavioural change might also be relevant.
Many thanks,
