Billions of millions of chopsticks are dump around the world each year. The most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan, where around a total of 24 billion pairs are used each year. In China, an estimated 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are produced yearly. (according to Wikipedia). Not sure how many are thrown away in the U.S., but you know it’s not a small number. And a few recycling initiatives around the world directly address this problem. So if you can’t recycle them, upcycle them! Here are some great ideas.
