Eco-Pocke-My-Hashi Portable Chopsticks by Nathan Suberi
An eco-friendly and vibrant solution to the rampant waste of disposable chopsticks (250 billion are trashed yearly), Yuento's travel-friendly alternative comes with a portable poly-carbonate case and silicon cap that doubles as a rest between bites. The designers make the chopsticks themselves—dubbed Eco-Pocke-My-Hashi—out of durable and sustainable bamboo in 12 vivid colors.
Buy a set of Eco-Pocke-My-Hashi for ¥1,135 (just under $12) through Idea.
