The Chinese government is raising the price of waribashi (disposable wooden chopsticks) in an effort to protect their forestlands. Every year, throughout the world, hundreds of billions of disposable chopsticks are thrown away after a single-use. Widely used in Japan, Chinese waribashi is 50-200% cheaper than it’s Japanese counterpart. The price hike is part of China’s larger plan to totally ban the production of waribashi completely.
