Story Every year, 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are produced in China, which are only used once, for an average lifetime span of 25 minutes and then discarded.;It’s the equivalent of 3.8 million trees, the country already suffers from serious deforestation, only 3.34% of China’s forests remain intact, according to Greenpeace.;Safety is another worry, as many chopsticks are whitened with chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, paraffin, and sulfur dioxide, which can lead to respiratory disorder, gallstones, cancer...;Eleme, China’s leading food delivery platform (holding more than 55% of market share), processes alone around 15 million orders a day. That’s a lot of chopsticks that are going straight into the trash, or left sitting in a corner, unused and forgotten.;As part of their Relab program (‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ actions), Eleme introduced Edible Chopsticks,that you can actually eat. It’s as solid and precise than normal chopsticks, but it’s completely sustainable.;Brief Explanation;Edible Chopsticks is made of wheat flour blended with icing sugar, milk powder, butter and water without preservatives. Edible chopsticks are made in three different flavors: Original Wheat, Matcha, and Purple Sweet Potato. Our product also has a long shelf life of more than 10 months, and if you don’t want to eat it, you can just throw it away, it decomposes within a week.;Our packaging is made from 100%-recycled paper, it’s completely sustainable. We wanted our design to be as appealing as a candy bar, bright, colorful, and mouth-watering.;Eleme already partnered with 43 major restaurants chains* in the country, spreading our Edible chopsticks. Within a week, 250 000 pairs have been spread out. And it’s only the beginning, since Eleme will progressively announce new restaurants’ partnerships in the coming weeks.
