UBC PhD student Felix Böck, a PhD candidate in UBC’s forestry department, spoke to Daily Hive about his chopstick recycling project.
“A kitchen drawer full of disposable chopsticks from all (of my) sushi takeout got me thinking that ‘we can do better,’” Böck said. “My background in research and development of new wood-based and high-performance bamboo products got me the inspiration of seeing chopsticks in Vancouver as an urban resource for new materials.”
