When looking at a pair of old chopsticks, most people would see nothing but waste. But Felix B ck would see boxes, tables, shelves and so on.
In 2016, Felix B ck, a doctoral student at the University of British Columbia, Canada, found out people threw away about 100,000 pairs of chopsticks every day in Vancouver alone.

The company collected used chopsticks from restaurants, schools and shopping centers in Canada and the US and turned them into furniture and other artworks. Now in its fifth year, with the rapid growth of the company, B ck employs 40 people, and using his special methods of steam and press machines, he has recycled over 32 million pairs of chopsticks.
B ck takes pride in his work. And he hopes the idea behind ChopValue will help people rethink what they see as waste. "I believe every small action can help," he said, "and I am happy that my business provides a new way for people."
