Kwytza

The idea is simple: collect post-use, single-use bamboo chopsticks from restaurants, thoroughly clean them, sanitize them at extremely high temperature and pressure, and use them to make high-quality accents for the consumer’s living space. The idea is Kwytza (pronounced k-why-tsa).

Research showed that literally billions of single-use chopsticks were consumed annually. The more shocking revelation was that it took, by some estimates, 25 million trees and bamboo plants to support that resource waste. Was there an opportunity to use the chopsticks for other applications that would provide a consumer benefit while bringing awareness to the negative environmental impact of single-use chopsticks? After extensive research and development efforts, including a unique process for reclaiming and thoroughly sanitizing chopsticks, Kwytza was born. The products are all the brain children of Bryan who is constantly thinking of the next great product that can be handmade with recycled chopsticks.

Today, we are happy to offer a broad range of recycled home accessories pairing eastern aesthetics with western conservationism. Chopstick Art products evoke an elegance that compliments any environment.
